Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Wisconsin Works (W-2) Manual |
The W-2 agency must provide transportation assistance services to applicants and participants when it is necessary to ensure participation in W-2 activities.
Transportation services provided may vary by agency based on the options in the area that are both available and reasonable. W-2 agencies must work together with applicants and participants to determine the types of transportation options that are reasonable to each individual’s needs. A reasonable transportation option must meet all of the following criteria:
· The transportation option is safe;
· All out-of-pocket transportation costs are reasonable with respect to the individual's income;
· The one-way travel time between home, childcare, and work or activities is reasonable, as determined by the FEP and participant on a case-by-case basis; and
· All relevant factors have been considered, (e.g., whether the option is the most convenient and reliable one that also meets the other criteria).
