What is a flag stop system?
A flag stop system means a passenger may board a bus at any safe place along a fixed route. When you see the bus you want, signal the driver by waving.
This system is used by all Transit Providers in the Greater Steuben County Area.

"In the Know"
Catholic Charities Steuben/Livingston
April is Alcohol Awareness Month. Alcohol Awareness Month is an annual public initiative organized by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD). Since its inception in 1987, this event has cemented itself in the forefront of prevention services, serving as a massively effective platform from which we can try and dissuade misconceptions about alcohol use, as well as provide education on ways to avoid or treat alcohol abuse. In the United States, over 18 million people are afflicted with Alcohol Use Disorder – more than 6% of the population – and over 88,000 Americans die every year due to this disorder.
During this month, we want to educate our community – particularly school-aged children – on what problem drinking is, the effects associated with it, ways to prevent it, and where / how to seek treatment when you realize drinking has become problematic. Our goal this month, as it has always been, is to educate and support, no more no less.

Are Nonprofit Workforce Shortages Still a Problem?
Nonprofit workforce shortages have been national news for several years, but is this still a problem impacting your mission? We need your help in answering that question. Take the survey.
A survey of the charitable nonprofit sector in late 2021 documented a severe workforce shortage crisis causing unfilled vacancies, long waiting lists of people seeking services, chronic burnout, and other struggles to meet needs in local communities. The survey results led to action to implement solutions at the community, state, and federal levels.
Now, 18 months later, the state of nonprofit employment is unclear. We hear that problems persist as charitable organizations compete for employees with governments and for-profit entities while also trying to cope with increased demand for services, natural disasters, inflation, and declining revenues. The lack of accurate data makes it hard to manage the situation, much less overcome the growing challenges.
Help tell the charitable nonprofit story today. The results of the survey will drive solutions for this year and beyond.
Thank you,
NYCON Team
