  • Abstract:
    To transition welfare recipients to employment, it is important to provide them with transportation to the workplace. Many of these new jobs are in areas with limited or no public transportation systems and are accessible primarily by car. However, many welfare recipients do not have cars. To address this mismatch, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) authorized the Access to Jobs and Reverse Commute (Job Access) program. The program authorizes the Department of Transportation (DOT) to provide grants to local agencies, nonprofit organizations, and transit authorities, among others, to improve transportation to employment. TEA-21 requires the General Accounting Office to review the Job Access program every 6 months. This report describes (1) DOT's implementation of the Job Access program, particularly its approach for selecting awards in fiscal year 1999; (2) the fiscal year 1999 grantees and their planned approaches for providing transportation services to low-income workers; and (3) the changes DOT is making to the program in response to our

    prior recommendations, including the establishment of specific objectives, performance criteria, and measurable goals for evaluating the program's success.
