Description
Access to transportation is a cornerstone of health, aging in place, and community life. Distances to employment, healthcare services and essential needs can require up to an hour or more of travel for many residents of the region. Transportation expenses are often the second highest expense to individuals and families after housing.
This conference is designed to convene health practitioners, transportation providers, community leaders, philanthropic organizations, elected officials, governmental service providers, and health insurance companies to learn about and discuss the opportunities and barriers surrounding transportation and healthcare access. The targeted counties include Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Herkimer, Madison, Otsego, Schoharie, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, and Tompkins; however, participants from other New York communities are welcome.
