Research Study for the U.S. Department of Transportation
The Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University is conducting a research study for the U.S. Department of Transportation – Federal Transit Administration to better understand the transportation barriers and needs of New Jerseyans with disabilities who are seeking employment and they need your help.
If you are a person with a disability searching for a job, Rutgers would like to hear directly from you on this issue and ask that you complete the confidential online survey available at this link: http://policy.rutgers.edu/vtc/transurvey.html
Anyone completing the survey will be entered in a drawing to win a $100 American Express gift certificate and if you need help completing the survey or want a hard copy of the survey, you can contact Rutgers project manager Andrea Lubin at 732-932-6812, ext. 593 or via email at annlubin@rutgers.edu.

Charged with the task embedded within a five-year strategic planning effort to infuse person-centered planning into three distinct state service delivery systems, the New York State Developmental Disabilities Planning Council selected as one of its targets a population of people with intellectual disabilities who are significantly marginalized from the mainstream of community living, learning and earning. The focus for a system-impact project turned to the Special Needs Units of the New York State Correctional Services system.

* Economic Security and Opportunity

* Health & Human Services
* Law,Justice & Public Safety
In support of your innovative ideas, submitted programs will be showcased throughout the convention and compiled into a resource guide for distribution.
