RecycleForce received a $9,800 grant from the Indianapolis Public Transportation Foundation to provide 500 bus passes for our employees. The Indianapolis Public Transportation Foundation’s mission is to help our community thrive by connecting people through accessible, equitable, and inclusive mobility solutions.
“Access to transportation is one of the biggest barriers those who we serve face,” said RecycleForce President Gregg Keesling. “This grant from IPTF will assist our clients to get to work so they can better their lives.”
Crista Carlino, Director of Development & Communications at RecycleForce said, “The bus pass grant will eliminate transportation barriers for hundreds of individuals in our reentering workforce, allowing them to get to and from work and training safely and reliably. We know when attendance at work is consistent, our clients are able to complete their certifications in a timely manner and get access to even better jobs and careers, further reducing their rate of recidivism and future criminal acts.”
Emily Lovison Executive Director of the Indianapolis Public Transportation Foundation said, “In partnership with IndyGo, IPTF is thrilled to support nonprofit organizations throughout Marion County with bus pass grants. We know these passes will provide the most vulnerable in our community with necessary connections to jobs, healthcare, education, and other essential services.”
