Regional Alliance to Host Provider Network Kick-off Event
On June 24th RARET partners will gather to plan and structure the long anticipated Emergency Transportation Provider Network
Since the start of the Regional Alliance for Resilient and Equitable Transportation, RARET has had the goal of creating a network of dedicated partners who band together in emergencies to maintain access and mobility for all community members, especially folks with unique access and functional needs.
Over the years, RARET, has made strides toward this vision. The Coordinated Vaccine Helpline piloted many of the key concepts which will be the foundations of the Emergency Transportation Provider Network. The latest step forward will come on June 24th during the ETPN Summit.

The goal of the ETPN is to increase the availability of transportation for special needs populations during adverse weather or emergencies including but not limited to snow events, earthquakes, wildfires, heatwaves, flooding, and pandemics. By having a collective regional ETPN, stakeholders will have greater predictability in which providers are operating during heightened conditions. Join the conversation today!
