Why It Matters
Why It Matters
Transportation is the key to independence, employment, healthcare, and social connections. Without equitable access to transit, many individuals are left isolated and unable to participate fully in their communities. At SWCTEF, we are working to change that—because mobility should never be a privilege, but a right.
