Description: Many people are utilizing ride-sharing apps as a method for commuting these days. However, that can be difficult if you work on a military base. As you can imagine, security protocols can make it hard for someone to drive up to one and ask if they can just drop someone off. The Army though is trying to find a workaround. A new pilot program is testing out methods to get certain drivers credentialed to make such drop offs. I learned more about it from Col. Mike Burns, Director of Public Affairs for US Army Forces Command who is in charge of the pilot. He was joined by Col. Chris Church, who is Provost Marshal for Army Forces Command. You'll hear from Col. Burns first. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
