Building Jobs While Building Bike Share
Source: Better Bike Share Partnership
That's exactly what First Sergeant Jim Duffney, CEO and Founder of Corps Logistics, is hoping to achieve through his contract with Baltimore Bike Share. Duffney uses his company to employ veterans who've struggle with homelessness, addiction, and poverty. Together they operate and service the city's bike share system.
Baltimore's bike share system is set to expand by 30 stations in the coming weeks, and Duffney is planning to hire more veterans to help with the bigger workload. Additionally, Corps Logistics' program is slated to expand to other cities through a new partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
