  • Driving Independence: Integrating Transportation Supports Into Workforce Development

    Throughout America's history, transportation has been a hallmark of progress by connecting people to opportunity, strengthening communities, and expanding pathways to independence. As we commemorate both the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and our nation’s 250th anniversary, DETAC will explore how transportation continues this legacy by helping people with disabilities access competitive, integrated employment and fully participate in community life. Join national transportation expert Dr. Judy L. Shanley of Easterseals, Ashley Gettys and Lukas Smith of the Easterseals Northeast Indiana affiliate, and DETAC Strategic Advisor Dan Middleton of Catalight to explore practical strategies for strengthening transportation supports in workforce development. Participants will learn how to identify and coordinate transportation resources, leverage mobility management and travel training, and build partnerships—including with employers—to integrate transportation into employment services and address barriers to job attainment and retention.
