Los Angeles County CalWORKs Transportation Needs Assessment

The analysis contained in this report is the product of a number of on going research projects at the Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies that help assess and evaluate the impact of welfare reform on the ability of recipients to transition from welfare towards self-sufficiency. In particular, this report presents the results of our collaborative research on the role that transportation resources play on the ability of recipients to leave welfare and find employment. This report, though, does not translate findings into planning and policy recommendations.
