The recent welfare reform act requires most current welfare recipients to be employed within 5 years. For any program to find jobs for those previously on welfare, transportation services need to be in place before the job search process begins. Therefore, it is essential that the latent demand for commuting among welfare recipients be assessed when any public transportation service is developed. Such a planning effort is described by ( a) providing an overview of the relevant issues relating to welfare to work, ( b) proposing a regionwide planning process, and ( c) demonstrating the process by implementing the first three steps, which rely on creative data preparation and analysis. Because the most recent data sets are not currently available, the implementation phase is considered to be preliminary, but it is crucial in testing the proposed regionwide planning procedure. A full-scale study is currently under way.
