It is important for all communities to support their members to stay physically and mentally healthy while facing the unprecedented challenges associated with COVID-19. Our community of transportation professionals is a diverse one, but also one that is affected in important ways by the situation. We hope to provide support to members with resources and initiatives to keep our community strong.
