    GUIDANCE ON PREPARING WORKPLACES FOR COVID-19 TRANSPORTATION 1 The transportation and warehousing sector includes industries providing transportation of passengers and cargo, scenic and sightseeing transportation, and support activities related to modes of transportation. Wisconsin has more than 117,000 workers and 6,600 businesses in this sector, all working to keep the state’s economy moving. As many people stay safe at home, COVID-19 has significantly affected public transportation services such as ride sharing, taxi services, buses and air transportation. The nature of these services makes it difficult to practice social distancing. Trucking and rail industries have also been affected, but with a distinct difference between those that work in essential versus nonessential industries. Nonessential commercial transport is not allowed under the Safer at Home Order. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is providing additional permits to truckers, adding rest areas, and relaxing weight and driver hour restrictions to aid the delivery of crucial food, medical supplies and other supplies during the pandemic. The guidelines contained in this document can help protect safety and maintain operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, please see the “General Guidance for All Businesses” document for guidance that applies to all industries and consult the other available industry guides as relevant for your specific business type.

    PARATRANSIT: A KEY ELEMENT IN A DUAL SYSTEM October 2015 This document was compiled by CODATU association at the request and under the supervision of the Agence Française de Développement (AFD). It was written by Pablo Salazar Ferro in close collaboration with Lise Breuil (AFD) and Julien Allaire (CODATU). The first version of the document, issued in November 2014, has been updated after review from Xavier Godard and Olivier Ratheaux. AFD, the Agence Française de Développement, is a public development-finance institution that has worked for ’seventy years to alleviate poverty and foster sustainable development in the developing world and in the French Overseas Provinces. AFD executes the French government’s development aid policies. Working on four continents, AFD provides financing and support for projects that improve living conditions, promote economic growth, and protect the planet. In 2013, AFD committed €7.8 billion to projects in developing and emerging countries and in the French Overseas Provinces. These AFD-financed projects will provide schooling for children, improve maternal health, promote equality between men and women, support farmers and small businesses, and bolster access to drinking water, transportation and energy. These newly-funded projects will also help mitigate climate disruption by abating nearly 3.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent annually.
