Solano Mobility Study

P 93 p Solano Mobility Study for Older Adults and People with Disabilities Ch7: Strategies Chapter 7 Strategies Funding for transit and mobility management services are assumed to be reasonably stable with modest growth. Transit operators have been modifying services to address changing local needs, to adapt to realigned intercity SolanoExpress services, and to maintain cost-effective services. Substantial, costly strategies will be difficult. Leveraging existing resources and developing partnerships are likely to be the most successful methods of implementing improvements. It will more be more important than ever to implement, monitor, evaluate and adjust diligently. The broader transportation environment is rapidly changing. Staying abreast of those changes and finding ways to incorporate and maximize their benefits for Solano residents will be the challenge going forward.
