The Quaboag Connector project aims to develop a sustainable, scalable model for rural transportation to increase access to health and community resources in the Quaboag Valley region. The project was designed through a Design Thinking process to meet the expressed needs of community members for travel to destinations that related to social determinants of health. In addition to continuing to offer its popular demand-response services, the project is focusing on securing sustainable funding and resources for the future.
