ITD seeks two statewide public transportation advocates
BOISE -- Connecting and educating Idaho’s employers and
employees regarding available ridesharing and public transportation commute
options is the goal of Idaho’s Workforce Transportation Initiative.
Idaho Transportation Department’s Public Transportation
Office manages this new statewide program and is on the hunt for two Workforce
Transportation Outreach Coordinators.
Beginning in May, the coordinators will spend a year
traveling throughout Idaho speaking with employers and employees about what
ridesharing is, and public transportation options that are available, explained
Mark Bathrick, ITD Public Transportation manager.
Training also will take place on how to use the new Share
the Ride Idaho platform.
If requested, the coordinators will develop a commuter schedule
for individual employees based upon home location, place of work and preferred
transportation option, Bathrick said.
Applicants for the coordinator positions must be currently
working for a non-profit organization to qualify for selection. An application
is available for download until March 20 at itd.idaho.gov, click on “Public
Transportation.”
