For many older adults, people with disabilities and family caregivers who need transportation, simply finding out about the mobility options available in the community may present an insurmountable obstacle. Such information is often scattered among several organizations, requiring numerous phone calls to piece together the complete picture. On August 23 at 2pm Eastern, the National Aging and Disability Transportation Center hosted a webinar discussion of how communities can address the challenge of providing better access to comprehensive transportation information.
