    • Abstract:
      In 2000, Congress acted to bring an end to the unsafe transportation options agricultural workers faced

      on a daily basis, by appropriating $4 million for innovative programs to address the unique transit needs

      of this significant population. The pilot was targeted at Fresno, Kern, Kings, and Tulare Counties, with

      a matching $4 million from the State Public Transportation Account. Out of these resources, Kings

      County Area Public Transit Agency (KCAPTA) received $5.8 million and through trial and error, and

      an unfettered commitment to provide safe and affordable transit alternatives for agricultural workers,

      KCAPTA launched the Agricultural Industries Transportation Services (AITS) in April of 2002 with 123

      new 15-passenger vans. AITS has succeeded in providing a safe and affordable alternative to help meet

      a significant amount of the transit needs of agricultural workers in their service area. This innovative

      transit system is a model that can be replicated across the agricultural areas of the State and Nation.
