Some participants also connected transportation <br />to physical wellbeing, referencing the increased <br />importance of public transportation during heat <br />waves. <br />Table 24. Transportation Modes, by Percent <br />Sources: US Census Bureau ACS 5-year 2017–2021 <br />Participants spoke at length about the relative lack of <br />bus stops in residential areas, and how that affected <br />daily activities such as getting groceries. Others noted <br />that public transit options were rarely aligned with <br />the location of human services. One said: <br />“We need coordination with our public <br />transportation. Our human service organizations <br />need to provide public transit options so that people <br />can take advantage of where they are depending <br />on where the food pantries are, regardless of <br />where they live.” <br />EASTERN ALAMEDA COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES NEEDS ASSESSMENTSS Page 123 of 554
