community transportation program
Why This Program Is Needed
The Community Transport Program was developed to offset the issues with public transportation availability between the hours of 8:30 pm to 4:30 am. The current METRA bus System only runs during the hours of 4:30 am to 8:30 pm, Monday through Saturday; leaving those without transportation to get to and from work outside those hours. The system limits the means for reliable transportation for individuals who work outside of its schedule.
Soldiers on Ft. Moore base are also limited in their transportation needs in traveling on and off base. With Ft. Moore providing over 7,000 jobs, implementing a source of transportation that runs 24/7 as well as travels on and off base would open more efficient job opportunities for individuals in the community. This program will provide services to participants in the Pathway to Success and Pathway to Transformation programs.
