Title: Access all areas: Linking people to jobs
The Skinny: This report examines how transport can improve access to work in four case study areas: the wider Milton Keynes area; South Hampshire; Greater Manchester and the Sheffield City Region.
Transport has a key role to play in helping overcome spatial mismatches between the places where lower skilled people live and where the jobs they seek are located. Connecting people to employment sites has been a key aim of past travel-to-work initiatives from which three main lessons have emerged. Transport initiatives tend to be most effective in linking people to jobs when:
- they are designed with the needs of different individuals and places in mind;
- they integrate and assist individuals in the use of existing transport provision;
- and when they work alongside initiatives in other policy areas.
