2017 AARP Community Challenge Grantee

Transportation
The grant was used to install a much-needed ADA-compliant walkway, bench and bus stop shelter.
Project Results
Yavapai Regional Transit in Chino Valley and the Navajo Transit System in Fort Defiance used AARP grant funds to install much-needed bus shelters. On the day of the installation in Chino Valley, a frequent rider (pictured) asked if she could sit on the bench just to try it out. Navajo Nation acquired eight shelters (the inset image shows an example), which are just a fraction of what's needed to serve the people living on the vast, remote expanse of tribal land.
