Why Join the RCC?
The Region 8 RCC works to improve the capacity and accessibility of community transportation across the Greater Manchester-Derry-Salem area. Whether if you work in transportation, human services, have issues finding transportation or work with individuals who struggle with transportation, the RCC invites you to the table. All meetings are open to the public.
Who Is in the RCC?
Right now, the Region 8 RCC consists of community transportation providers, municipal staff, human service organizations, regional planning staff, and citizens of the region. However, anyone who has a stake in transportation is always welcome to the table.
Why Should I Talk to My Mobility Manager?
If you ever struggle with finding transportation, your mobility manager is a great resource to help connect you with the right services. However, there’s also more to a mobility manager than finding you a ride. Whether if it’s participating in an outreach event, developing resources for your community, or building partnerships, talking to your mobility manager is a great first step towards addressing your transportation needs.
Who Is My Mobility Manager?
The mobility manager for Region 8 (Greater Manchester-Derry-Salem) is Ben Herbert. You can contact him at bherbert@snhpc.org, or 603.669.4664.
