Action Plan

Brownsville developed its action plan to address its rapidly aging population. The plan focuses on the three primary areas of transportation, access to recreational amenities--or health access, and civic engagement and volunteerism. Brownsville works to enhance its transit system, increase connectivity to parks, and provide educational opportunities for older adults.

Action Plan Highlights

  1. Transportation

    Ensure that all modes of transportation are safe, affordable and accessible to people of all ages and abilities.
