Transportation to Education/Training

The AtJ Program provides a gas card to eligible DTA recipients who are participating in an ESP approved Education or Training Program, has access to a vehicle or is able to find a co-worker, family member or other person who can drive them to the destination.  The gas card enables the recipient to purchase gas based on the round-trip mileage of the trip including childcare.

Procedures

  • The DTA case worker or DTA designee faxes a signed CVTR form to the statewide Operations Manager.
  • A completed CVTR form is evaluated by AtJ to determine if the recipient is eligible for the program.
  • If the recipient is eligible, a gas card (works like a credit or ATM card) with instructions on usage is sent to the customer within 24 hours, as long as the CVTR form is complete and there are no issues.
  • AtJ also sends a confirmation of processing the request to the caseworker.

    Gas Card Value

    The value of the gas card is based on the person’s round-trip mileage to job training or education program with child care if necessary, number of days per month participating in the program, current gas prices and an average miles per gallon (mpg) of 16.

    For example, recipient travels 10 roundtrip miles (rtm) per day and participates in a program an average of 21 days per month. The value of the card would be $39.39 per month. If it is determined that the fuel costs exceed $80.00 per month, the card value would only be $80.00 per month.

    10 rtm x 21 days = 210 miles divided by 16 mpg = 13.13 gallons x $3.00 per gallon = $39.39

    Restrictions

  • The gas card can only be used to purchase gasoline for the automobile being used to transport the recipient.
  • The gas card is provided for as long as the recipient remains in the education/training program.
  • The maximum value of the gas card is $80.00 per month.
  • The card usage is monitored on a daily basis and will be provided for as long as the customer remains in the education and training program.
