 The first regional transportation council meeting meant to discuss transportation challenges in Beltrami County. The council aims to advance transportation opportunities in the region and to improve mobility for the area. They want to work with public transit, non-profit organizations and veterans. This region has a pretty good system already, but there's gaps. You know, there are people who can't use the bus because they work after hours or the bus doesn't go to where they work. Currently they're working with transportation providers to make it easier for people who are unable to get rides to get to their destination. So is this kind of a group or a little council agency to help kind of determine how we can get that those issues solved? Three other outreach meetings are being held across the region to garner transportation feedback from the public. Anyone is welcome to attend the meetings.
