Transportation costs cancel service program for workers

DANVILLE – A not-for-profit group's attempt to provide a bus service for low-income workers to get to jobs in Champaign County has officially come to a halt, because transportation costs were too high.

On May 12, the Driven to Succeed program started with two refurbished school buses hauling entry-level workers directly to job sites in Champaign County.
