Statewide Workforce Transportation Needs Assessment; completion supported

HR 190 is a resolution supporting the completion of a required statewide workforce transportation needs assessment under existing Alabama law. It does not create new programs or funding but urges state agencies to conduct the assessment mandated by the 2018 Alabama Public Transportation Act, which requires a review every five years to identify transportation barriers affecting workers. The resolution specifically aims to gather data on how transportation gaps impact low-income residents, rural communities, older adults, and individuals with disabilities in accessing jobs and training. This data would inform future transportation investments and workforce policy decisions, though the resolution itself does not allocate funds or change current law. It directly affects state agencies, transit providers, and employers by encouraging collaboration to address identified transportation needs.
