Nearly THREE TRILLION gallons of rain has fallen across New Mexico over the last 7 days! That’s the second-highest total in the country, behind only Alaska. 🌧️ Four of the top five counties in the Lower 48 for total rainfall volume are in New Mexico! #NMwx

And we're grateful for you and all you do for riders like Ronnie @hapcap. What a wonderful story and photo - thanks for sharing on #RuralTransitDay.
Ronnie, an Athens on Demand Rider, is grateful for all the places they take him, but the trips that make his life meaningful is this one – to Natural Freedom Equine Therapy. He said, “it is good for my heart, mind and soul”. #RuralTransitDay #TransitIsForEveryone #southeastohio

A1. Rural transit is the difference between needing a car or not, going into debt/bankruptcy over transportation or not, going to the doctor or not. It expands what jobs people can apply for and what educational opportunities they can pursue. It connects people. #RuralTransitDay

Find out why so many transit agencies are using LiquidSpring’s proprietary Suspension System; a uniquely “smart” system tailored for shuttle buses, ambulances, RVs and military vehicles. ow.ly/w51750M2gah #motorcoach #bus #AllAboutThatBusLife #transit
