If you are a jobseeker, the project aims to help you in three main ways with:

• travel advice and support from a specialist team of dedicated Travel Advisors assisting people into employment, education and training; as well as aiding local businesses to recruit and retain staff using sustainable transport options
• increased and improved bus services across the Dearne Valley to improve access to job and training opportunities
• the low cost loan of motor scooters through the Wheels 2 Work scheme, if public transport is not a viable option.
