Description

Interstate Business Solutions is an Indiana-based company that contracts with transportation departments across the U.S., including Oregon’s, to provide highway cleanup services. About 50% of its staff consists of formerly incarcerated individuals, alongside others with resume gaps.

Nearly all of the people responsible for cleaning 272,000 pounds of garbage off Oregon highways have lost their jobs after lawmakers failed to pass a transportation spending package.
