Survey begins of transportation availability to the workplace

How easy is it for you to get to your job?  That's one of the questions that will be studied by the Northeast Iowa Mobility Solutions Team.

This coalition of local economic development, transportation and employment specialists is working to ensure that transportation is always the link and never the barrier to employment.  The group has been meeting for some time and has developed some new regional transportation ideas.  Now it is beginning a public srvey to find out whether these ideas would work.

They have developed a survey at www.EARLtransit.com  that is completely anonymous.  The team is seeking input from employees, employers and job seekers who live or work in Winneshiek, Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette or  Howard county.  The survey will be open through August 15th.
