EMBARK in Oklahoma City, Ok., with support from the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) and the Oklahoma Transit Association, has published a report on a four-year pilot program, Climb Ride, designed to reunify families through the Department of Human Services Child Welfare by removing transportation as a barrier.
Climb Ride provides families in the foster care system with comprehensive transportation options, including transportation training, incentives and post-program support, as participants work to complete their court-ordered services.
The four-year pilot program was designed to be a scalable solution for other transit systems to learn from.
