SonomaWORKS will pay reasonable transportation costs for you to participate in your SonomaWORKS
activity, to accept or keep a job, and to travel to and from childcare as
needed. The program will reimburse you at the same rate as the least costly form
of public transportation, unless there is no public transportation available. In
that case, if you use your own vehicle, you must have a valid driver’s license
to be reimbursed. If you are using public transportation, you may receive bus
passes. Advance payments (gas vouchers and bus tickets) are available on an
emergency basis. For more information on transportation options, see the Client Handbook Section on Transportation.
