Meeting rural transportation needs in the face of diminished funding was the topic of the day as members of the Pioneers Trails Regional Planning Commission met with local transportation officials on Wednesday.
Randy White, Pioneer Trails executive director, and Nancy Heidrich, transportation planner, met with representatives for OATS, West Central Independent Living Solutions (WiLS), and the Center for Human Services on Wednesday afternoon to solicit comments as Pioneer Trails puts together its new regional transportation plan. White told the group that having a set regional plan is an essential first step for communities looking to apply for state and federal grants.
