Does this sound familiar? You’ve just arrived at an MTA workshop, and start talking with the other attendees. Then you realize that one of the attendees with whom you’re speaking is from the same county as you are—in fact, your townships are practically next-door neighbors. If only you’d known ahead of time, maybe you could have driven together!

With gas prices rising, sharing a ride with a fellow township official is an economical way to travel—plus, you’ll have a chance to network with your peers. And MTA has a way to help you organize a carpool!
