  • Use volunteers and have community partners
  • Provide information and connections to assist riders with meeting other needs beyond transportation
  • Address inequities and engage a diverse range of community members
  • Meet gaps in services or provide service where there is none or not enough currently
  • Creatively use existing resources
  • Are clearly laid out and ready to implement
