Support Public Transit in Your Community

Learn the challenges, understand the impact, and take action to keep HIRTA moving

Public transit connects people to the places that matter most like work, healthcare, education, and daily needs. HIRTA provides essential door to door service across Central Iowa, but like many rural transit systems, it faces growing challenges.

This advocacy toolkit gives you a clear understanding of those challenges and simple ways you can help. Inside, you will find key information, action steps, and ready to use resources to make your voice heard at the local, state, and federal level.

Your support helps ensure reliable transportation remains available for older adults, people with disabilities, and anyone who depends on it.
