About the JARC Program: The program seeks to improve access to transportation services to employment and employment-related activities for welfare recipients and eligible low-income individuals and to transport residents in non-suburban areas to suburban employment opportunities.
Job Access projects are targeted to providing transportation services such as shuttles, vanpools, bus routes, connector services to mass transit, and guaranteed ride home programs for welfare recipients and low income persons. Reverse Commute projects provide transportation services to suburban employment centers from urban, rural and other suburban locations for all populations.
About the New Freedom Program: This program seeks to reduce barriers to transportation services and expand the transportation mobility options available to people with disabilities beyond the requirements of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990.
