FlexRide Milwaukee to Expand Service, Connecting Milwaukee Workers with Jobs in Franklin, Oak Creek
MILWAUKEE – On Monday, April 17th, FlexRide, a non-profit transit service, is set to expand its operations to accommodate travelers between the City of Milwaukee and Franklin. This move has been made possible by the recent approval of funding by the Milwaukee County Board:
“We are thrilled to help announce the expansion of FlexRide to Franklin and Oak Creek,” said Supervisor Logsdon “A goal of the Transportation and Transit Committee is to make it easier for workers to access jobs in the Milwaukee County area, and this expansion is a significant step towards achieving that goal. My thanks go out to our partners at FlexRide for making this important service a reality. It will not only benefit workers, but also businesses and the community as a whole.”
“The expansion of FlexRide is great news for Milwaukee residents who are seeking job opportunities. This is what transit is all about – providing reliable and efficient transportation that helps people get to work,” said Chairwoman of the Transportation and Transit Committee Priscilla Coggs-Jones. “I’d like to thank County Executive Crowley for signing this important legislation, as well as my colleagues on the Board who voted for its’ approval.”
The expansion of FlexRide will make the service available to new employers in Franklin and Oak Creek beginning April 17th, 2023.
FlexRide was launched as a pilot project in 2022 and has been successful in connecting workers in select employment centers with reliable transportation.
