This report presents three case studies of innovative transportation planning efforts in metropolitan areas to improve access to jobs for current welfare recipients and other low income residents. These Access to Jobs case studies of the Hartford, St. Louis, and Detroit metropolitan areas focus on developing transportation solutions that meet locally defined goals and objectives and ensure that former welfare recipients have the needed mobility to reach employment opportunities. The experiences of each area offer a number of insights into how the metropolitan transportation planning process might be applied in developing solutions to employment access problems. Topics addressed include local conditions, job access problem, types and characteristics of existing and planned services, impact of proposed solutions, organizational roles and responsibilities, context of planning effort, resource constraints, and planning methods. Findings show that the metropolitan transportation planning process is an effective means for addressing access to job problems, that planning for access to jobs requires an inclusive, collaborative coalition of diverse agencies and organizations to develop solutions, and planning goes beyond simply providing transportation to and from work.
