Transportation Disadvantaged Day
Transportation Disadvantaged Day will take place on February 2, 2012.
Registration extended to 1/17/2012 !!
This year's theme:
NEED A RIDE?
TD.......WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE!
Most people, including Legislators, have never heard of the
Transportation Disadvantaged
(TD) Program until they or someone they know needs this service. This
is why it
is imperative to educate those who are making the decisions about all
that TD does
to benefit the State of Florida. TD keeps thousands of Floridians
independent and
out of institutional care while stimulating Florida's economy. For
every $1 spent
on transportation, the State of Florida receives more than $8 in return!
Local economies are stimulated with each trip. People do not leave
their homes without
accessing medical services, making purchases, conducting business, or
getting to
employment. All of these trips have considerable impact on local
communities and
the state. Because of these trips, people have jobs to provide services
and money
is spent on these services. These jobs include the businesses that TD
people visit
to purchase goods, medical personnel who are paid to provide their
services, and
drivers, mechanics, customer service staff who all have jobs because of
the services
they provide to the TD riders.
TD Legislative Day is hosted by FACTS (Florida Association of
Coordinated Transportation
Systems) each year through the funds donated by sponsors. When you
sponsor, 100%
of the funds go towards the event which is geared towards creating
awareness and
support for the Transportation Disadvantaged Program.
It is so important for legislators to here from the actual people this
program helps!
Attendees should go by and meet with the legislators and their staff to
thank them
and encourage their continued support. If you would like to speak with
your legislator,
we encourage you to make an appointment with them in advance.
