SponsorshipsWe Need Community Support for Our Matching Dollars For years many residents of Jefferson County were facing a problem with transportation. But that has changed since JeffCo Express, the first public transportation system in Jefferson County, has been running a deviated route from DeSoto to Hillsboro over to Festus, then Pevely then up to Arnold... and back...currently three times a day. This historic transportation system is not finished expanding. The next phase was a connecting intra Arnold route which is almost a year old. Eventually plans are to add a route to the west side of Jefferson County and more frequent service to existing routes. But with the celebration of the second anniversary, is the stark reality of growing pains... You may be asking why you should give to JeffCo Express. Especially if you do not currently use the service. The answer is simple. Your contribution is an investment...a much needed investment in the overall growth and development of Jefferson County.
JeffCo Express now offers mobility to Jefferson County residents, particularly those without cars, who tend to be lower-income. JeffCo Express enhances local economic growth in many ways. It can increase the local customer base for a wide range of services including shopping, medical facilities, educational institutions and employment. While Jefferson County Community Partnership has procured federal money, there have been obstacles in obtaining the required match portion needed for operating funds. Without these match funds...JeffCo Express cannot continue or expand services.
Future sustainability plans include dollars allocated by the Jefferson County government, advertising dollars, sponsorship and increased ridership. We truly need community support....now! You may support JeffCo Express by advertising your business on the bus, with a tax deductible monetary donation, sponsorship or by spreading the word to family and friends about this much needed service. Please take a moment to check out the Sponsorship Pages of our website...and see if this is the investment in community growth that you have been looking for. Sincerely,
Tracy Smith, Executive Director
Jefferson County Community Partnership
