Strategies

Expand broadband availability and adoption in unserved and underserved areas through initiatives that address infrastructure and cost barriers

Help participants share transportation via informal arrangements between individuals, formally arranged ridesharing programs, or other ride-matching services

Organize workers to bargain collectively for improved wages, benefits, and working conditions

Provide employees with child care options at work; care may be provided free of charge, partially subsidized as part of an employee benefit package, or offered at market rates

Provide employees with paid time off for circumstances such as a recent birth or adoption, a parent or spouse with a serious medical condition, or a sick child

Require employers in an affected jurisdiction to provide paid time off for employees to use when ill or injured

Introduce or expand transportation options that are available to the public and run on a scheduled timetable (e.g., buses, trains, ferries, rapid transit, etc.)

Establish transportation services for areas with low population densities using publicly funded buses and vans on a set schedule, dial-a-ride transit, volunteer ridesharing, etc.
