Is Melbourne's bus revamp a leap forward or a step back? Proposed changes promise a faster commute, but risk splitting the community and derailing the 20-minute neighbourhoods plan. Can a unified transport approach save the day? Learn more → unimelb.me/3RPZea3

This map of LA's Dash bus routes shows how neighborhood circulators can leverage transit assets to enhance mobility and vitalize neighborhoods. Note how these short routes serve small, distinct communities. The idea is to provide last-mile and other short trips, whether they're to neighborhood destinations or to transit stops, where people can go further. The fares on Dash are extremely low (like 50 cents), and I think they're currently free. As MARTA to completes BRT routes funded by More MARTA, the city and MARTA should find away to enhance this intra-neighborhood microtransit option. Doncha think?

In the quiet corners of rural areas, a significant challenge echoes through the lives of many - the arduous journey to dialysis appointments. This isn't just a matter of inconvenient transport; it's a pressing issue that pierces the fabric of healthcare accessibility in these regions. Imagine, if you will, the daily struggle of individuals in rural communities grappling with the scarcity of reliable transportation options to reach dialysis centers. The weight of uncertainty hangs heavy on their shoulders, unsure of how they'll access a vital healthcare service essential for their survival. This predicament extends beyond mere inconvenience; it carves into the lives of these individuals, deepening health disparities and casting shadows of stress and anxiety. The lack of accessible transportation becomes a barrier to life-saving treatments, leading to missed appointments, compromised health, and the looming specter of severe complications. We stand at a crossroads where our collective expertise holds the power to enact change. Whether you navigate the realms of transportation, healthcare, or community development, your insights can be the catalyst for innovative solutions that bridge the profound gap in rural transportation for dialysis patients. Let us not just acknowledge this issue but feel its weight, empathize with those grappling with it, and commit to a shared mission of crafting viable solutions. Through our united efforts, we can turn the tide, ensuring that no one in rural areas faces insurmountable barriers to accessing critical healthcare services.

Community landscapes are changing, and transit agencies are adapting.   With the rising cost of living, people often move farther away and out of reach of traditional public transit. At the same time, super commuters are taking advantage of hybrid work and driving longer distances only a few times per week.   While traditional fixed route modes will always be vital for communities, these shifts demand new mobility strategies with flexible, safe, and cost-effective solutions.    Vanpooling is gaining momentum throughout the country as transit agencies work to reduce transit deserts, increase rider access, and rebuild ridership. 

Rural communities face challenges such as an over-reliance on private vehicles, and as a result, a limited reach of public transport systems.
