THE WORKFORCE CHALLENGE

ABSENTEEISM Transportation barriers can contribute to missed or delayed shifts.

When Transportation Becomes a Workforce Problem

Transportation barriers can make it harder for healthcare employees to reliably reach work —particularly during early-morning, evening, overnight, weekend, and other difficult-to-serve shifts.

STAFFING PRESSURE Unexpected absences can increase pressure on available employees and supervisors.

RECRUITMENT & RETENTION Transportation access can limit where employees are able to work and which shifts they can reliably accept.

OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY Recurring workforce transportation gaps can create broader staffing and scheduling challenges.

SHIFT-ALIGNED Programs are structured around the shifts and times when transportation barriers can be most disruptive.

WORKFORCE FOCUSED Programs are designed around healthcare employees and institutional workforce needs.

TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED Coordination, routing, communication, and performance information support program operations.
