An unprecedented workforce shortage in the transit industry jeopardizes its ability to meet growing mobility demands. The consequences are already felt in communities, with reduced service schedules, longer wait times, increased strain on the remaining workforce, and reduced transit ridership. Boosting transit ridership is a key priority for Transportation Choices and we seek to comprehend the nuances of this challenge for agencies of varying sizes throughout the state.
