What if the gap is too big?

What do you do if the gap between what you have and what you need to implement your goal is too big? When this happens, it might be time to encourage everyone to keep connecting with others and getting more feedback from the community, empowering them to look for and find their own answers.

Example

For example, in rural South Carolina, there were big gaps in transportation services for people who could not access the fixed routes or use paratransit. If you work in a rural place, this probably sounds familiar! Dori Tempio, Director of Community Outreach and Consumer Rights at ABLE SC, worked with others to bring in alternative transportation services that were operating in other parts of the county. It took a lot of meetings and listening to concerns and other ideas to get to this solution, but once you find the right people who care about making something happen, they will come together and put in the effort!

Important reminder

Remind everyone that no individual can have all the answers. These kinds of challenges are opportunities to learn and grow! Do not be discouraged!
