“This research illustrates the need for a mindset shift from simply providing transit for people to building social networks to facilitate utilizing vehicle and driver assets that communities already have,” said Thomas Fisher, director, Minnesota Design Center, University of Minnesota College of Design.

Other opportunities specific to Wabasha included existing volunteer and on-demand transit resources, support from civic leaders and strong interest in multimodal mobility.
