About this Webinar
Transportation plays a central role in our lives. However, many Mainers lack safe, affordable, and reliable transportation, leading to missed job opportunities, medical care, and social connections. Until now, no comprehensive data existed on how widespread these barriers are and their impact on the health and quality of life of Mainers. The difficulty of measuring this problem has contributed to it being minimized and overlooked. In 2024, the Moving Maine Network set out to address this gap in knowledge by collecting qualitative and quantitative data. Using the Transportation Security Index and a story collection approach, they developed a report called “Try to Imagine It’s You” that is being used to educate and influence decision-makers and help advance effective policy. This webinar will provide an overview of the report and a discussion of education and advocacy efforts.
Learning Objectives
-
Define transportation insecurity and identify how it’s impacting Maine people.
- Discuss how stories and data can be used to help decision-makers understand and respond to transportation barriers.
