People with disabilities have trouble finding and accessing transportation solutions that are inclusive, reliable, affordable, and safe. What transportation options, resources, and alternatives exist in Virginia? Learn more and join the Individual and Family Support Program (IFSP) Regional Councils and DBHDS staff on Thursday, July 17th from 6 to 8:15 p.m. Get tips and resources from Katherine L. Newman at the National Aging and Disability Transportation Center and Jess Maffey from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation! Adults with DD will also tell us how they get around in their communities. Individuals on the DD Waiver Waitlist, families and caregivers, friends, DD professionals (including support coordinators/case managers) and community members are encouraged to attend. This event is free, but you must register. If you would like an email reminder before the event, please sign up using this link: https://surveymonkey.com/r/ifsp-july17.
