West Sacramento's first Senior Transportation Summit was held in the City Hall Galleria on the morning of November 7. Approximately 55 people attended, including representatives from City, County and State Government. Participants arrived in cars, on the bus, on foot and bicycle and motorized scooter.
The purpose of the Summit was to bring together transportation providers, public transportation oversight committees, City staff, others associated with transportation decisions, and West Sacramento residents interested in senior transportation.

Transportation is a major concern for our older residents. Individuals become discouraged, frustrated and mystified when they are not aware of transportation opportunities, when they hear conflicting information, or when they don't know where to express their questions and suggestions. The Summit was an opportunity to learn about transportation availability and access, and discuss how we can be creative with resources including time, money, volunteers and transit options. With limited resources and strong partnerships, our goal is to begin the conversation and enlist the help of volunteers to carry it to the next level.
