Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC)

Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) is sponsored by Local Department of Human Services or social services office (Federal program).

TRANSPORTATION, DEPARTMENT OF This program continues to be repealed. On October 1, 2013, the Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) Program was repealed by Congress under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21).

The JARC Program provided grants to local governments, nonprofit organizations, and designated recipients of Federal transit funding to develop transportation services to connect welfare recipients and low- income persons to employment and support services. Job Access grants finance planning, capital and operating cost of projects.

The Reverse Commute grants assist in funding the costs associated with adding reverse commute bus, train, carpool or service from urban areas, urban, rural and other suburban locations to suburban work places. Projects meeting these objectives are now eligible for funding under the Section 5307 (assistance listing 20. 507) and Section 5311 (assistance listing 20.

509) Programs. The Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) program was established to address the unique transportation challenges faced by welfare recipients and low-income persons seeking to obtain and maintain employment. Many new entry-level jobs are located in suburban areas, and low-income individuals have difficulty accessing these jobs from their inner city, urban, or rural neighborhoods.

In addition, many entry level-jobs require working late at night or on weekends when conventional transit services are either reduced or non-existent. Finally, many employment related-trips are complex and involve multiple destinations including reaching childcare facilities or other services.

Section 5316 funds were apportioned among the recipients by a formula which is based on the ratio that the number of eligible low-income and welfare recipients in each such area bears to the number of eligible low-income and welfare recipients in all such areas.
