VISTA volunteers will research volunteer-driver models and develop a volunteer-driver framework. the VISTA will create a baseline inventory of transportation options available in both counties. The VISTA will also research vehicle repair partnership models and develop strategies for engaging repair providers/funders. Research will be conducted to increase mobility coordination opportunities through local, state, federal, philanthropic and private funding options relevant to transportation access. The VISTA will collaborate with partners to create a transportation tool kit to be used throughout Medina and Wayne Counties.
