PUBLIC COMMENT NEEDED — HELP PROTECT JARC TRANSPORTATION FUNDING! 🚨
Support Systems of Forsyth County Transportation is asking our community, partners, riders, families, and supporters to speak up for continued Section 5307 Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) funding.
The original recommendation provided $50,000 in federal JARC funding to Support Systems. The revised recommendation reduces that amount to $27,500.
JARC transportation helps remove one of the biggest barriers facing people trying to improve their lives: getting where they need to go.
Support Systems provides transportation that helps individuals access employment, education, job training, supportive programs, medical care, and other essential destinations. This transportation helps us support community programs and organizations such as SOAR, Positive Path, Fresh Hope, Goodwill, the Rescue Mission, Community Courts, as well as private individuals who need reliable transportation to work and other opportunities.
We are asking the community to submit public comments requesting that JARC funding remain at the previously recommended funding level so that transportation capacity is not reduced for the people and programs that depend on it.
