Thanks to Mass Transit for the great articles!


We strive to continue to break down barriers and make transportation inclusive for all. HIRTA's Executive Director, Julia Castillo, says, “We do this because we want to make life easier and better and more accessible. We want to give people the freedom to move around their own communities that they've chosen to live in. And just because they've chosen to live in a rural community, doesn't mean that they should be less than or get served less or have less resources."
