Tips for Arranging Successful Transportation

» If feasible, take advantage of travel training activities while still in school to maximize the rider’s independence.

» Consider whether public transportation or specialized public transportation is an option.

» When considering employment or a day program, consider location. CLOSER IS USUALLY BETTER FOR TRANSPORTATION.

» If HST Office transportation is beneficial, work with your 688 transition coordinator on a transportation request (TR). The service coordinator will submit the TR to the HST Office on behalf of the individual.

» Make sure the DDS 688 transition coordinator is aware of important physical, medical, or behavioral needs of the individual.

» Try to be flexible and realistic about the available transportation options.
