During Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, The Arc was proud to be a part of a Transportation Summit, along with members from the Calvert County Chamber, the Non-Profit Alliance, and other community members gathering to discuss the transportation challenges we face for the people we support throughout Calvert County. Work groups were formed to speak about challenges for the youth, the elderly, people with disabilities, and others in our county.
The Arc was proud to be a part of the conversion, bringing awareness to the challenges posed to people with developmental disabilities in regards to accessible and affordable transportation which may assist them in continuing to become active and included members of our community. We hope this conversation will help The Arc find additional ways to continue to support the needs of these individuals and their access to our community. Additional meetings are scheduled in the upcoming months to turn these conversations into actions.
