Community Advancement Network representative briefs UTC on mental‑health resources and data dashboard
Summary
Carlos Soto of the Community Advancement Network told the Urban Transportation Commission about CAN's partnership model, mental‑health resource guides and a community dashboard that includes a transportation indicator changed from vehicle miles traveled to percent who drive alone to work.
During the meeting's general public communication period, Carlos Soto, research planning and evaluation coordinator for the Community Advancement Network (CAN), spoke about CAN's partnership work and tools for community organizations.
Soto described CAN as a partnership that brings together government agencies, nonprofits and faith‑based organizations to coordinate resources addressing social, educational and economic needs. He told commissioners CAN maintains an ATX website listing mental‑health resources and a flyer “Pathways to Mental Healing” with resources for families and community members.
Soto also described the CAN community dashboard, which tracks indicators across four issue areas, including basic needs and transportation. He said the transportation indicator was changed from vehicle miles traveled to the percentage of people who drive alone to work to better align with local goals to reduce solo driving.
Soto left contact cards and invited commissioners to request a fuller briefing at a future meeting.
