Abstract

The paper examines two labour market outcomes experienced by users of federallyfunded transportation services for lowwage workers in the United States, using primary data from 23 locations. The propensity of users to be unemployed prior to using the service is found to be related to the type of service (fixedroute/demandresponse) and location type (urban/rural) but not to aggregate local unemployment, variability in local unemployment rates or local welfare policies. The propensity to earn higher wages is related to the type of employment transportation service and location, and local unemployment levels. Results imply a need for locallyderived, coordinated employment transportation plans.
