55,000 Supports TARC, JCTC Partnership

55,000 Degrees Executive Director Mary Gwen Wheeler explains why transportation is so important to academic success.

C2 Strategic is excited to highlight the new partnership between TARC (Transit Authority of River City) and JCTC (Jefferson Community and Technical College), which has secured a $55,000 grant to enhance student transportation. This initiative will improve accessibility for students, providing them with the resources they need to succeed in both their education and careers.

Enhancing Accessibility for Students

This funding will allow JCTC students to access TARC’s public transit services, making it easier for them to travel to and from campus. By offering reliable, affordable transportation, TARC and JCTC are ensuring that students can focus on their studies instead of commuting challenges. Ultimately, this partnership strengthens educational opportunities through improved accessibility.

A Stronger Partnership for the Community

This collaboration also benefits the broader community. With better transportation options, more students will be able to pursue higher education. By making education more accessible, this partnership fosters a stronger, more connected community, benefiting not only students but the region as a whole.

Looking Ahead: Continued Support for Education and Mobility

The $55,000 grant is just the beginning. C2 Strategic is excited to see how this partnership evolves. Moving forward, this initiative will continue to support students across the region, driving educational growth and improving mobility. This funding will have lasting benefits for both students and the community.
