Joblinks Employment Transportation Initiative
Joblinks NewsGetting to work -- it's one of the basics of community life. Public and community transportation play a critical role in moving Americans to employment sites, training facilities, educational programs, interviews, child care, and back home again. The Community Transportation Association of America has dedicated numerous resources to overcoming the transportation barriers that face current and prospective workers, especially those with specialized transportation needs (e.g., older adults, people with disabilities, youth, low income earners, late night and early shift workers). On these pages you will find information for the Joblinks and Job Access and Reverse Commute programs, analysis of employment transportation issues, plus a wealth of information on promising practices in communities just like yours. These pages are made possible with funding from the Federal Transit Administration (U.S. DOT) and the Employment and Training Administration (U.S. DOL). Vanpooling: A Promising Transportation Option for Commuters with Disabilities Webinar PlaybackThe Joblinks Transportation Center hosted a free webinar on the ways to include workers with disabilities in vanpools. This webinar built on inquiries raised during our series of vanpool webinars presented earlier this year that highlighted the need to clarify the obligations and opportunities to provide accessible vanpool services to persons with disabilities.
