In an effort to better serve the state’s seniors and disabled citizens, the Texas Department of Transportation is hosting a workshop to inform the public and gather input on the growing transportation needs of local communities.

TxDOT’s federally-funded Enhanced Services for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program (5310) serves communities with 200,000 people or less.  The program’s workshops are intended to inform citizens of the availability of cost-effective, efficient passenger transportation services, as well as gather comments from these citizens on what services are needed.

The public is invited to attend the workshop at 2 p.m. on Thursday, December 18th at the Texas Department of Transportation’s office located at 2495 Highway 183 North in Brownwood.

The Workshop will provide information about public transportation services available for seniors, people with disabilities, also known as the 5310 Program.
