This ACL discusses various WTW transportation issues. A few of those issues are as follows:

MPP §42-750.11 requires counties to provide supportive services, including transportation, that are necessary for a participant to obtain or retain employment or to participate in WTW activities. If necessary supportive services are not available, the individual will have good cause for not participating.

Counties are not permitted to "cap" or set a limit on the amount they will pay for transportation. Counties may, however, review requests for transportation over a certain amount to assure the transportation expense is necessary in order for the individual to work or participate in WTW activities.

Per §42-750.21, necessary supportive services, including transportation services, must be advanced so that the participant is not required to use his/her own funds to pay for services, regardless of how much income the participant makes.

If it is necessary for a parent to transport a school-aged child to school in order to participate in a WTW activity, counties must provide payment or reimbursement as a CalWORKs transportation service. Counties are advised to develop policies that clearly define what type of transportation they will provide for participant's children.

If a child care provider includes transportation to and from school as part of the child care rate, transportation is fully covered by the CalWORKs child care payment and is subject to the Regional Market Rate (RMR).
