Community Outreach

Outreach Opportunities

NCTD’s community outreach efforts focus on increasing awareness about public transit projects, options, and benefits. We work with a variety of audiences including schools, employers, businesses, and service organizations. At these events we also receive your feedback about our services and bring it back to the planning team for evaluation.

If you are interested in any of these initiatives for your organization or company:

Educational Visits

Our outreach team is present at street fairs, fundraisers, festivals, business expos, employee resource fairs, and college special events, among other community events. At such events, the public learns about NCTD’s services and resources and has the opportunity to ask questions about trip planning, schedules, benefits of switching to transit, and special fares and discounts for select riders.
