Workforce Transportation Pilot Project Updates

Through a 3.2 million dollar Wisconsin Workforce Innovation Grant, a rural transportation ride share program was developed to help employees get to work in Waupaca County. This page will provide Waupaca County employers with current information on the 2022 Workforce Innovation Grant for the Waupaca County Workforce Transportation Project. We began employement rides at the end of 2022. Between now and the end-of-the-year, WCEDC and its partners, will be getting in touch with Waupaca County employers.
