MOBILITY...
Does this resemble your company's job application? Well, if you use UpLift, you'll never again need to ask the question "Do you have reliable transportation".
Every day, employers across Central Pennsylvania lose out on countless potential applicants as more and more job seekers simply do not possess a reliable way to get to work.
Recent studies have cited some common reasons fueling this mobility gap including vehicle affordability, the rise in transit deserts, environmental concerns, remote work options, and the growth of on-demand services such as Uber and DoorDash.

MOBILITY ON DEMAND (MoD): THE FUTURE OF WORKFORCE COMMUTING
Workforce transportation demands are changing.
If you are a local employer you've probably experienced, or maybe still are experiencing, the challenge of getting qualified applicants through your door.
While many reasons continue to play a part in today's floundering labor participation rate, the lack of basic transportation and the growing resistance to traditional car ownership and commuting are often overlooked contributors.
A recent 2024 CDC study cited that almost 6% of Americans, roughly 14 million people, "lack reliable transportation for daily living, potentially impacting their ability to work due to the lack of access to a vehicle to get to their job".
According to another study by the University of Texas at Austin, approximately 11% of the population, or 24.6 million people, live in transit deserts.
There has also been a major shift in mindset concerning car ownership and driving in recent decades.
