Beginning May 7, a new forum will provide U.S. veterans, service members, their families, and community service providers the opportunity to share ideas and solutions that will help to ensure the nation's transportation networks work for everyone.

The forum, "Strengthening Transportation Choices So We Can Serve Those Who Have Served Their Country," is sponsored by the Federal Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility and the U.S. Department of Defense. The dialogue is managed and operated by Easter Seals Project ACTION through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration, using funds from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Anyone with a personal or professional stake in this issue is invited to register and participate, including:

•    Veterans, service members and their families

•    Transportation providers – public and private
•    Human services networks providers
•    Veterans service organizations
