Transportation
Working together to ensure all people in Kent County have readily accessible transportation options.
Why It Matters
Because car travel is prioritized over other forms of transit, people are left with options that are limited, unsafe, unaffordable, or unreliable. ENTF recognizes Transportation as a systems issue, shaped by interconnected factors that require collaborative solutions.
