In 2021, LTD began the Mobility Management Strategy to understand community members’ transportation habits, preferences, and barriers. Your input is valuable and will guide LTD in collaborating with partners to provide better transportation in the region. Launched in summer 2021, the purpose of the MMS is to:
Understand transportation needs and gaps in transportation services
Determine the best role for LTD to play in supporting new transportation services and programs
Define a process for making decisions about LTD’s role in new transportation options
Identify a list of potential transportation projects to implement in the future
To get feedback from the community, LTD is conducting a quick survey that is open until March 16.

The Invisible Class explores what it truly means to be homeless in America, challenging stereotypes and examining the systemic causes of mass homelessness in the wealthiest nation in the world. From coast to coast the film is a day in the life of homelessness across America. From the system that created it, to the criminalization that perpetuates it, mass homelessness didn’t always exist. The Invisible Class explains how we got here.
The panel discussion will be hosted by Commissioner Heather Sielicki and will include representatives from local service providers, law enforcement, mental health and others. The panel will discuss the film and local efforts to support the unhoused community.
