Transportation is crucial for helping people on welfare find work. A plan for region-wide transportation to work is needed to make it easier for everyone to access jobs and avoid wasting money on duplicate efforts. The plan should be similar to urban transportation planning but tailored to meet the needs of welfare recipients. Challenges in creating the plan are recognized, but strategies to overcome them are suggested. It's important to start the planning process early so that transportation services are ready before many welfare recipients run out of public assistance. Key players and transportation agencies should be involved in the planning process.
