Webinar – A dialogue about dementia-friendly public transportation

This presentation is for professionals working in the public transportation sector and related fields.

A dementia-friendly community is a place where people affected by dementia feel included and supported. While creating dementia-friendly communities, individuals and organizations should focus on both the physical and social environments to ensure they are fully accessible.
