Community Engagement
Effective outreach utilizes a range of techniques and strategies to invite public input and educate riders and prospective riders about public transportation.
Transforming public perception through consensus building is key to AMMA’s outreach approach. Moving people through complex and difficult decision-making processes is inherent in AMMA’s community involvement activities.
Transit-focused education is a second critical tool to inviting and encouraging new riders. AMMA’s training of riders includes travel training individual and groups of older adults, training human service agency gatekeepers in transit familiarization and developing passive travel training tools to provide support through the trip to new users.
AMMA gathers public input through a breadth of strategies, using that to inform solid project direction or to construct engaging travel training tools.
