Flexible Public Transit Service Survey: The Town of Pelham was recently awarded a Clean Mobility Grant through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The program aims to increase access to zero-emission, shared transportation options across New York State communities. The Town of Pelham will leverage this opportunity to develop a plan for adding an electric, flexible public transit service to the current transit network. This new service may provide flexible public transit vehicles at common pick-up/drop-off points or allow for scheduled home pick up with electric cars, minibuses, small shuttles, vans, or other options. Your feedback will help inform the design of a flexible transit service for all Town of Pelham visitors and residents. Please click the link below to complete a 10-minute survey, and help shape the future of transportation in the Town of Pelham. Thank you for your participation, we value your insights!   Survey Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXYogLhm4Qvf1W5bm0wDmFHE132U0SzQFqObBSgbXCqerQug/viewform?usp=preview

Event: AAPI Brave Space Discussion

The Town of Pelham Public Library presents: 

Pelham Perspectives: An Asian-American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Discussion

With the continuing rise of violence, hate, and bias targeted at the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, the Town of Pelham Library invites all Pelhamites to join a Brave Space session focused on the AAPI perspective on Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at 8 pm.

A Brave Space is a safe and open place for all of us to authentically engage and collectively collaborate on our way forward together. The goal is to create a productive dialogue in which people speak honestly and critically from experience toward mutual learning and actionable insight.

Hear from your AAPI neighbors and friends on their personal experiences, cultural insights, and constructive ideas. There will be an opportunity for attendees to share their own experiences and ask questions. Together we can start to chart a course forward on a shared cause of stopping AAPI hate.

This Brave Space event will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at 8pm.  Register by clicking here to reserve your spot. Participants must agree to not record or photograph the event. For more information, contact Augusta Turner at [email protected] or 914-738-1234.
