Transportation Needs for People with Disabilities and Older Adults

Locally Coordinated Transportation Plan Community Survey

Wave Transit is seeking public input for a Locally Coordinated Transportation Plan (LCP) in order to: identify the transportation needs of people with disabilities and individuals age 65 and older in the Wilmington Metro Area; identify strategies for meeting those local needs; and prioritize transportation services for funding and implementation. The results of this survey, along with input collected through a virtual open house and focus groups, will be included in the 2021 LCP and will inform future transportation programing and funding decisions. For more information please call: (910) 202-2045 or email: vlacer@wavetransit.com.
