What is this?

Questions and Answers on the JARC, New Freedom, and Section 5310 Programs (Updated April 29, 2009). This document has been updated to note the date when questions were added or modified.

The Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) program was established to addreess 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-existant. Finally, many employment related-trips are complex and involve multiple destinations including reaching childcare facilities or other services.

Eligible recipients:  States and public bodies are eligible designated recipients.  Eligible subrecipients are private non-profit organizations, State or local governments, and operators of public transportation services including private operators of public transportation services.

Eligible Activities:  Capital planning and operating expenses for projects that transport low income individuals to and from jobs and activities related to employment, and for reverse commute projects.
