I'm on the board of IPATHinc.org. Glad to share. We are looking for webinar topics.
Our next conference will be in 2024. Very pertinent.
Most state transit associations offer training opportunities at annual conferences and
some also on-line. I belong to 3.
I'm also an Easterseals contractor for the National Aging and Disability
Transportation Center - NADTC.org - which is well aware of this project and may have
already done a webinar.
I'll be at the IATR conference later this month in Memphis. This would be relevant to
their program next year anyway, as IATR regulators oversee taxis, limos, paratransit and
other ride providers.
Glad to make those connections.
Transportation to healthcare and other destinations really should be part of a solid
social work curriculum - especially at universities affiliated with the USDOT UTC program

Subject: [TRBHealth] Health/healthcare + transportation outreach opportunities?
Hello H+T committee,
I'm working with the Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency (HIRTA) on an ITS4US-funded
project, Health Connector<https://www.ridehirta.com/its4us>us>, to improve
transportation access to healthcare.
Outside of the CTAA conference, the Health Connector project itself doesn't fit
perfectly into many other conference and outreach opportunities, but we'd really love
to get the word out about it. An important component of our work is making sure that the
solution is scalable and transferable to other sites. I'm wondering if anyone has
suggestions for audiences that would be a good fit for projects that aren't fully
public health-focused and also not fully non-emergency medical/healthcare focused
alongside transportation.
Thank you!
-Heidi
