In surveys conducted over the previous four years, central city Milwaukee workers repeatedly identified two barriers to employment: child care and transportation. This research work is part of a continuing effort to provide insights into the child care and transportation conundrum facing low-income families in Milwaukee County. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation driver's license files and vehicle records together with each driver's suspension and revocation status were combined with data on the welfare status of 93.908 individuals in Milwaukee County in a unique effort to provide a first-time census of transportation problems of low income residents.
