Title: Job Access and Reverse Commute Program (OMB Number: 2132-
0563).
Background: The Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) program,
provided grants for filling gaps in employment transportation. The
primary beneficiaries of this program were low-income families and
families coming off welfare assistance who otherwise would have a
difficult time getting to jobs and related services, such as child care
and training. The program was begun in 1999 and was continued under
Section 5316 of the federal transportation legislation, Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy
for Users (SAFETEA-LU), passed by Congress in 2005. The JARC program
authorized two kinds of grants: Job
[[Page 69713]]
Access grants (aimed at developing new transportation services for low-
income workers and/or filling in gaps in existing services) and Reverse
Commute projects (intended to provide transportation to suburban jobs
from urban, rural and other suburban locations--but not necessarily
just for low-income people). The JARC program was repealed under the
Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Although
the program has expired, JARC activities are eligible for funding under
FTA's Urbanized Area Formula Grants (Section 5307) and the Formula
Grants for Rural Areas (Section 5311) programs. However, funds
previously authorized for the program repealed by MAP-21 remain
available for their originally authorized purposes until the period of
availability expires, the funds are fully expended, the funds are
rescinded by Congress, or the funds are otherwise reallocated.
Respondents: State and local government, business or other for-
profit institutions, and non-profit institutions.
Estimated Total Annual Respondents: 49.
Estimated Total Burden Hours per Respondent: 2 hours.
Estimated Annual Burden on Respondents: 98 hours.
Frequency: Annually.

Director, Office of Management Planning.
