Abstract	Rural areas present special challenges for meeting the transportation needs of individuals, especially people without cars. Recognizing this, the Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) program was established by Congress in 1998 to assist States and localities to develop transportation services to connect welfare recipients and other low-income residents to jobs and other support programs. This study documents case studies of 8 rural areas receiving JARC funding in fiscal year 1999. The report highlights specific program elements, including the implementation process, transportation services provided, and the solutions developed to deal with the challenges of distance and low population densities that rural transit systems frequently face. 128890 bytes.
