People need to be able to reach treatment, services, and their jobs. Accessible transportation is especially important for individuals who are required to go to treatment and services as conditions of their probation or parole. Public transportation should be reliable and affordable. If not, communities should develop alternative transportation options or remote service opportunities. For example, telehealth services can facilitate continuity of medical care even if the individual is unable to visit a doctor's office.
