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.
