abstract: 'The impact of the welfare-to-work (WtW) regional public transportation
program on participants in Chicago, Illinois, is reviewed 3 years after
an initial study. The regional transportation program provided free
transit passes and vanpool services to participants during their first 6
months of employment and training on regional transit options for job
developers. WtW participants'' travel patterns were noted, social service
contractors were interviewed, and Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF)
clients were examined. In 2000, pass use for WtW participants and
regular 30-day pass users was determined to be almost identical because
of the strong economy of the late 1990s. Three years later, travel
patterns suggested that participants were beginning to find employment
farther from home, many in the job-rich O''Hare Airport corridor, and
that the costs and benefits of sending low-income workers to distant
work locations needed to be assessed. Although providing fare subsidies
that allow low-income workers to take advantage of existing
infrastructure may be helpful, transportation solutions probably will
not be enough to make a meaningful and sustained impact. The regional
transportation program illustrates the need for holistic approaches to
social policy. The disproportionate level of transit dependency, longer
travel times, and significantly higher use of public transit in many of
the Chicago communities that have the highest numbers of TANF clients
than in the city as a whole point to a serious need for affordable
housing near job centers in the Chicago region.'
