The project will train community health workers to deliver this program and secure funding for its sustainability.
-
The Transportation Marketplace (TRIP-MFT) system, which will develop a hyper-local transportation solution tailored to the unique needs of the rural service area, leveraging community connections and technology to overcome transportation barriers.
