Walking To Survive
At Job Rides, we understand that getting the job is only half the problem.
For many people with low-income, the real barrier is getting to work, day after day, week after week. Without access to reliable transportation, many are forced to walk or take multiple, hours-long bus routes to keep their jobs.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to work and provide for their needs. By becoming a Job Rides partner, you can make the difference for our neighbors to move from surviving to thriving, through a consistent ride to work and stable income.
With access to reliable transportation, workers are four times more likely to keep their jobs, strengthening our community.
Here in Iowa, Job Rides is doing just that; Helping people Get to work,
but we need your help.
