JFCAC's Tasha Skouby had the opportunity to appear on an episode of PrevenTable, a podcast by PreventEd. In her conversation with Executive Director Jenny Armbruster, they discussed the partnership between The Collective and JFCAC's EZMO program, which provides transportation for those in Jefferson/Franklin counties seeking recovery. They addressed the three biggest community needs: transportation, housing, and childcare, and what providing such resources means for recovery support. (Video Below) 

The Jefferson Franklin Community Action Corporation (JFCAC) is proud to share that Taylor Miller, EZMO Transportation Coordinator, was honored as a 2025 Midwest Transit Operator Champion at the Midwest Transit Conference, held September 3–5, 2025. 

The Midwest Transit Conference brings together public transportation professionals, state leaders, and community organizations from across the region to recognize outstanding contributions in advancing accessible and reliable transportation. The Transit Operator Champion award highlights individuals who demonstrate consistent dedication, customer care, and operational excellence in serving their communities.

Taylor’s recognition reflects her role in ensuring that EZMO Transportation operates smoothly each day. From coordinating schedules to supporting drivers and helping residents access safe, dependable rides, Taylor plays a vital part in connecting individuals and families to essential needs such as healthcare, employment, education, and food resources.

​Since its launch, EZMO has continued to grow as a trusted resource for residents across Jefferson and Franklin Counties. In just the past year, the program has provided thousands of rides covering tens of thousands of miles, removing barriers for people who would otherwise struggle to reach critical services. This success is the result of a team effort, with volunteer drivers, dispatch, coordinators, and community partners all working together to expand opportunity through transportation.

At JFCAC, we know that accessible transportation is more than a ride, it’s a pathway to independence and stability. This recognition for Taylor and EZMO underscores the importance of investing in community-based solutions that remove barriers and strengthen resilience.

​Congratulations to Taylor for this honor and thank you to the entire EZMO team for the dedication and collaboration that keep our communities moving forward.

Jefferson Franklin Community Action Corporation (JFCAC) is thrilled to announce that Developmental Disability Advocates (DDA) is continuing its support of the EZMO Transportation Program for a second consecutive year. This $50,000 grant helps provide Jefferson County residents with transportation to employment, giving individuals greater independence and access to opportunities.

DDA’s decision to renew funding reflects their confidence in EZMO’s proven ability to connect residents with the resources they need to succeed. Since July 2024, DDA-supported rides have allowed eligible residents to travel safely and reliably to work, education, and other essential services.

Over the past year, EZMO has continued to grow and improve its services, including the launch of the EZMO Rider App, which uses GPS technology to make rides more efficient and accessible for all passengers. This innovation allows resources to stretch further, supporting even more riders in their journey toward independence.

Volunteers and drivers play a critical role in this success, becoming part of each rider’s personal story. By providing reliable transportation, they help disabled young adults navigate independence and remove the stress of transportation from families, fostering stronger relationships beyond the ride itself. One young rider shared that having EZMO Transportation means they no longer have to rely on family for rides, a change that has brought them greater independence and reduced stress for their loved ones.

The ripple effect is powerful: every ride supported by DDA contributes to a stronger, more inclusive Jefferson County, where everyone has the opportunity to participate fully in community life.

Access to work is access to independence, and DDA’s funding helps make that possible. JFCAC is deeply grateful for DDA’s ongoing support, and for the dedicated EZMO volunteers and drivers whose daily efforts transform this funding into life-changing action.
