The National Association of Counties highlights the efforts some counties have undertaken to shift public transit resources to transporting residents to vaccination sites. Some counties have utilized rural transit dollars allocated via the CARES Act while other places are leveraging pandemic related reductions in public transit ridership to dedicate vehicles and drivers to the effort. Coordinators identify short turnarounds as the main barrier, so it is essential to ensure that residents know county transportation is available even before booking an appointment, so residents do not turn down vaccination opportunities for fear of not having a ride. #covid-19 #vaccination #rural
