Available Services:
- Transportation to and from Work: FCFP will transport a client to and from work. This service is available Monday through Friday 4:00 a.m. - 12:00 a.m., and on Saturday from 4:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Transportation is not available on Sunday. Arrangements may be made during business hours of Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Individual’s place of work must be more than one mile from place of residence. Transportation is limited to 35 miles from McConnellsburg. Because of the high cost of this mode of transportation, this service is initially limited to 20 days of service. The first month (20 days) will require a $2.00 co-pay per round trip ($10.00 per week). The second month (days 21-40) will require a $3.00 co-pay per round trip ($15.00 per week). Months 3 through 6 (days 41+) will require a $5.00 co-pay per round trip ($25.00 payable in advance). Service may be extended beyond the 20 days in certain circumstances. Service availability beyond initial 20 days will be evaluated based on job attendance and trip no-show/cancelation rate
- Mileage Reimbursement to and from Work: Mileage Reimbursement is available for clients who are utilizing their own vehicle for work related trips. ETAP will reimburse a client for mileage to and from employment at the federal mileage rate. The client will be responsible to report the mileage using the prescribed form, adhering to the polices set in place by the Partnership. Mileage reimbursement is a maximum of $750.00 per month.
