You also talked about the need for transportation for seniors. You are not the first ones to raise this issue as a number of witness groups have talked about it. Public transit is designed to get people downtown for work, but since there is none in rural areas, seniors cannot use it to get to their activities. In some regions, there is transportation for persons with disabilities, yet transportation for seniors who want to get out to see people is considered a grey area.
What specifically could our government do to support transportation in rural areas and even in municipalities?
