NOT USED BY DOR

Transportation

If you are a consumer, and it is determined within your Individualized Plan for Employment that you require transportation services to access or participate in vocational rehabilitation services, then we may provide them. We do not provide transportation as a single service. The DOR assists with the least expensive mode of transportation that is appropriate for each individual’s needs.

Depending on the individual circumstance, transportation services may include, but are not limited to, the purchase of a bus pass, paratransit services, and/or vehicle modification/purchase. All transportation needs are evaluated and approved as part of an overall comprehensive assessment. You and your counselor will determine the most appropriate service for your situation.

DOR has a limited vehicle modification/purchase program for individuals. DOR considers many factors in determining if a mobility evaluation is appropriate.

For more information on mobility evaluation and other transportation resources visit the DOR Mobility Evaluation Program web page.
