Ride in 55: West Virginia Transportation Caucuses
Summary & Next Steps
Over 100 representatives of transportation providers, coordinators, riders and advocates attended the five state "Ride in 55" caucuses, held in Martinsburg, Wheeling, Bridgeport, Huntington and Beckley. The caucuses were designed to take the issues identified in previously done state and regional studies and consultant reports (provided on this website at Resources) and make recommendations for solutions.
At the "Ride in 55" State Summit, held on November 10, the task was to take this process to the next level. For more information, visit the State Summit page on this website.
The ideas for solutions presented at each caucus to address our state's transportation issues can be found at:
