On Wednesday, March 5, at Thomas Jefferson School in Charlottesville, PATH held a Transportation Solutions Workshop in collaboration with the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority (CRHA).
The event was dedicated to members of CRHA’s Jobs Plus Initiative, which aims to develop locally based, job-driven strategies to increase earnings and improve employment outcomes. The initiative focuses on work readiness, employer connections, job placement, educational advancement, technology skills, and financial literacy for public housing residents.
The workshop provided participants with valuable information on finding the best transportation solutions within Region 10, particularly in the context of commuting to work. Thanks to the presence of representatives from Charlottesville Area Transit (Alex Pasqualone, Marketing Coordinator) and Jaunt (Jason Espie, Senior Director of Planning), attendees not only gained first-hand knowledge about local transportation services but also had the opportunity to inquire about employment opportunities with these transportation providers.
Both PATH and the CRHA Jobs Plus Initiative plan to organize additional workshops throughout the year.
