New program will help people in Maine get to school, work, appointments and more

The United Way has launched a new pilot program titled 'Keep ME Moving' in Maine to assist residents with transportation challenges. Funded by the John T. Gorman Foundation, the initiative provides financial support for car repairs, bus passes, and rideshare services. The program aims to address barriers to employment, education, and medical appointments, following reports of a significant increase in transportation-related requests through 211 Maine since 2020.
