The public is invited to attend workshop meetings this month in southeast Minnesota to help offer ideas on strategies and projects for improving transportation options for veterans, elderly, low-income and disabled people.

The three meetings are part of the Region 10 transit coordination plan and are open to everyone, including local governments, transit operators, non-profit organizations and other interested parties.

“All transit users and stakeholders, persons with an interest in eliminating barriers and improving services for the elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with low incomes and veterans are invited,” said Andrew Andrusko, principal planner for MnDOT District 6 and Region 10.

The purpose of the meetings is to help develop a plan for coordinated transit and human services that identifies, assesses and provides strategies to meet the current and future needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, persons with low income and others.

The three meetings are:

• 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in conference room 104 at Rochester City Hall, 201 Fourth St. SE

• 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Feb. 15 in conference room two at MnDot’s Owatonna office, 1010 21st Ave. NW;

• 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Feb. 22 in the council chambers at Winona City Hall, 2017 Lafayette St.
