Transportation is a difficult challenge for people with disabilities.
Once you get a job, you have to find a way to get there.
Here's what you can do:
-
Ask your vocational program, support organization, and employer for ideas.
-
If you have a Medicaid Waiver, ask your coordinator about transportation benefits. Some Waivers include this.
-
If you have health insurance — including Healthy Louisiana, or another Medicaid program — ask them if there are any transportation supports. Call the number on the back of your insurance card.
