The Age-Friendly Committees from Augusta, Chelsea and Hallowell, plan to reconvene a regional transportation forum from 9:30 a.m. to noon Friday, May 5, at the Cohen Community Center, 22 Town Farm Road in Hallowell.

The forum will provide an opportunity for discussion. A similar gathering in 2019 launched an effort to address the challenging issue, but with the pandemic the wheels came off the effort. The committees are restarting the discussion.

AARP Maine and Spectrum Generations — Cohen Center are cosponsoring the event. Hallowell Mayor George Lapointe will welcome attendees.

Noel Bonam, AARP Maine state director, will moderate the discussion.

Transportation service providers, government officials and users have been invited.

Contact the Hallowell All Age Friendly Committee for more information or to RSVP at hallowellagefriendly@gmail.com or 207-592-4718.
