Carey Services recently partnered with Transform Consulting Group to conduct a transportation study focused on the needs of people with disabilities and others throughout Grant County. The 2025 Grant County Transportation Study highlights how limited transportation options, in rural areas are making it harder for people to get to work, attend appointments, and stay connected to their communities.

The study found that just 23% of working-age people with disabilities in Grant County are employed, compared to 66% of those without disabilities. Many individuals rely on Carey Services or caregivers for rides, and public transit. But, options remain limited in coverage and hours. The lack of accessible, affordable transportation is affecting not only individuals but also local employers and the broader community.

The report offers practical solutions like expanding shuttle services, partnering with employers, and hiring more trained drivers all to help make transportation more inclusive and reliable for everyone!
