The lack of available, affordable and accessible transportation is one of the most significant and persistent problems faced by people with disabilities or low-income. This is especially true for those individuals who live and work in rural America and this is the reason that WKACD has developed a voucher program. Through such services as information sharing, networking, technical assistance, advocacy and recreational/social activities, in the area of rural transportation, our voice has grown in strength with thanks to the United Way of Ellis County.
The funding from United Way has made it possible for WKACD to create a transportation work voucher program in Ellis County to give options for individuals with disabilities and/or low-income who needed rides to work.
Eligibility for Program:
- Must reside in Ellis County.
- Must meet income guidelines.
- Must provide monthly proof of employment.
- Must complete initial application and evaluation, 3-month evaluation, and annual evaluation to remain in the program.
- All participants must be employed.
