PUPCO is pleased that in addition to our new partners, we have been successful in maintaining relationships with several companies who have found PUPCO to be a very valuable part of their operations. Some of our appreciated relationships of over two years are with Synthes Inc., JOBS1USA/UHAUL, Quest Diagnostics, Hartford Insurance Company, and Rite Aid Pharmacy. We also continue to provide transportation for welfare to work clients through the city’s EARN Centers.
