Jackson mayor John Horhn hoping to stave off JTRAN strike

Jackson Mayor John Horhn is working hard to prevent a potential strike by JTRAN bus workers that could leave vulnerable residents without public transportation during the summer. The negotiations with the company managing the bus service have hit a snag, threatening to strand low-income and disabled people in the heat. This situation underscores the critical role public transportation plays in ensuring access to essential services, especially for those who rely on it for daily commutes. Horhn's efforts highlight the broader implications of labor disputes on community mobility and access.
