There’s a new program in Cape Girardeau aiming to steer people around those barriers.
“Employers as well as job seekers said that transportation issues is affecting employment,” said United Way of Southeast Missouri Executive Director Elizabeth Shelton.
That’s why United Way of Southeast Missouri and the Cape Girardeau Transit Authority have teamed up to create United We Work.
CGTA vehicles can now give free rides to and from work to those who need it, but the mission behind the project goes a little deeper.
“We didn’t want just to provide transportation, we wanted to help people save for future transportation needs,” said Shelton.
United Way partnered with local banks to help participants save for those needs.
