Getting where you need to go shouldn’t be a barrier to opportunity.

The Transportation Working Group works to reduce transportation barriers and improve accessibility in Carman and the surrounding area. Through community partnerships and practical initiatives, the group explores ways to make travel safer, more affordable and accessible for people of all ages and abilities.
