Reentry Barriers Solutions Hub

Choose the barrier that’s in your way. We’ll show practical steps and places you can go for help.

What’s Blocking Stability

Transportation to Work

When you don’t have a reliable ride, every job feels out of reach.

Quick wins you can take:

  • Look for jobs on bus routes or within walking/bike distance.
  • Ask about shifts that align with transit schedules.
  • Ask your PO about gas vouchers or ride programs.
  • Use local transit systems and reentry partners.

Transportation is a barrier, not a character flaw.

Where to start:

“What To Do If…” Help Center

Missed court or think I’m going to miss it

First: do not ignore it.

  1. Contact your lawyer or public defender.
  2. Call the court clerk if you don’t have one.
  3. Gather proof of what went wrong.
  4. Stay reachable and document effort.

This is not legal advice.

Missed probation or parole check-in
  • Contact your officer immediately.
  • Document all attempts.
  • Loop in counsel or advocate.
