Published on: <\/strong><\/em>February 15, 2022<\/em><\/p>\n The Transportation Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) is conducting a synthesis study to gather information on how public transportation agencies engaged in diverse initiatives to meet their community\u2019s needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. These initiatives, often created through partnerships with other organizations, utilized transit organizations\u2019 resources in non-traditional ways, including for services like food delivery, internet access, and support and transportation to vaccinations.<\/p>\n These initiatives provide valuable lessons about how transit agencies can assess community needs, leverage diverse funding sources, form partnerships, and support equity goals in their communities.<\/p>\n To better understand the scope of these initiatives and the partnerships that were formed, TCRP is conducting a survey of organizations that may have been or currently are involved in pandemic-related support. The survey<\/a>, which will be open through Monday, March 1, will take about 15 minutes to complete. Please access the survey<\/a> to share how your organization helped to meet essential needs of the community during the pandemic.<\/p>\n FTA sponsors TCRP to develop and apply innovative solutions to help meet the demands placed on the nation\u2019s public transit systems.<\/p>\n Links:<\/strong> Learn more and participate here. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":631,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
