JARC-Copays

JARC is a program sponsored by the City of Cedar Rapids, area human services agencies, and area transportation agencies that provides reduced cost transportation to work, school, and life-skills classes for low-income families. The JARC Program allows people who would not otherwise have a way to work, school, and life-skills classes to continue improving their job seeking skills without worrying about transportation costs. All JARC participants must be referred by a qualified human service agency, temp agency, or employer to participate in the program.
