Q7. What strategies are most effective to overcome #ruraltransit challenges? #RuralTransitDay

Q6. How do you recognize your drivers for the work they do? #RuralTransitDay

@floridartap We see cool appreciation events happening, and we acknowledge Operators on a state-wide platform. #RuralTransitDay 🏆

Q4. What strategies are you using to attract and retain talent in #ruraltransit? #RuralTransitDay

@DevinErichBB Yes! In Colorado we are trying fare-free August #sparetheair 🌤️

@moiraKmoon A3. Free fare days or events #RuralTransitDay

Q3. What’s one thing that would make nonriders try rural transit? 🚏 #ruraltransitday

@WaveTransitILM on-demand makes such a huge difference!

@moiraKmoon A3. We know walking far distances to bus stops in areas without sidewalks isn't ideal. RideMICRO, our microtransit pilot program, is a point-to-point service with thousands of stops closer to where people live. Plus - it's on-demand! Shorter waits for service! #ruraltransitday

@TransitNCATT A2. Flashy buses! Wrap them with something meaningful from the community or a cool theme. #ruraltransitday #bustangoutrider

@floridartap A1. Knowing that folks have access to basic needs in life regardless of where they live.

Q1. What is the best thing about #rural #publictransit? #RuralTransitDay
