The magnitude of the welfare-to-work challenge calls for regional job placement strategies. To maximize placements, workers must learn to use the regional transit network and other transportation-related services to access job opportunities throughout the region. In the Delaware Valley, this includes commuting across state lines. Focusing on current access-to-jobs initiatives, this plan profiles employment characteristics, inventories current services and facilities, identifies transportation needs and service gaps, and provides strategies and recommendations to facilitate job access. DVRPC's Areawide Job Access and Reverse Commute Transportation Plan enables the Delaware Valley region to participate in the Federal Transit Administration's JARC grant program.Geographic Area Covered: Pennsylvania Counties: Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery, Chester & Philadelphia New Jersey Counties: Burlington Camden, Mercer, Gloucester
