Participate in ridesharing programs
The lack of reliable transportation is a significant barrier to employment for many individuals living below the NPPS.
Participate in local rideshare and carpool programs that will help solve this problem.
To get started:
Identify local rideshare and carpool programs that include communities where there is a need for transportation assistance.
Engage your social networks to participate in similar carpooling efforts.
