ATWIC and those who support the Cooperative are guided by the following principles:
Port Authority of Allegheny County, Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, and Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board share equally in the ATWIC collaborative partnership.
Human services, workforce development, and transportation agencies work together to develop viable strategies for connecting people to jobs and other services.
Provision of accessible transportation for low income individuals and persons with disabilities is the primary focus; the type of transportation provided is secondary.
Improving the mobility experience is as equally important as providing transportation services.
Funding consideration is given to projects that have relevance, a high probability of success, definitive results, and long-term potential.
Transportation access needs are funded and implemented in order of priority.
JARC- and NF-funded transportation services have the potential for becoming part of a comprehensive and coordinated transportation system, region-wide.
Project impact assessments are conducted in a fair and consistent manner.
