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. The types of transportation services provided may vary from agency to agency based on the options in the area that are both available and reasonable. W-2 agencies must determine the types of transportation options that are reasonable to each participant’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 applicant or participant’s income;
· The one-way travel time between home, childcare, and work or activities is no more than 60, or in some cases 90 minutes (see 11.3.3.1.1); 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).
History: There are no previous versions of this policy.
