Feedback Received • From riders • Most ride the buses at least weekly • Either do not have transportation or can not drive. • Most either did not notice the messaging or found them to be somewhat helpful. • Overdose prevention/Needle Exchange program info, WIC, information about lead exposure and dental health for children stood out the most

Feedback Received • From riders • Most did not take action • However, for some, increasing physical activity and losing weight were important. • Biggest Health Concerns in our Community • Lack of transportation • Cancer • Limited physical mobility in older population • Influenza/Flu Season

Feedback Received • From drivers • Monitors are not on the commuter buses that travel from Augusta-Waterville. • Challenges include • Distractive to drivers • Repetitive for riders • Technical issues

Feedback Received • From drivers • Suggestions/information to think about for future messaging • Placing monitor on other side of the bus • Have no music/noise at all and just have captioning, however some people may not be able to read it. • Ensure DVD loops • Change up messaging played- gets repetitive for them and the passengers. • Include bus PSAs or etiquette
