Transportation costs will be paid at the current state mileage rate as of the date of the trip. Round Trip: Most transportation reimbursement is based on a round trip. Some round trips may not include the foster child being in the vehicle on the return trip, as the youth is being dropped off to be picked up at a later time. The trip to pick the youth up and return to starting point will be considered a second round trip. For example: A resource parent leaves from foster home to take youth to work.
The youth is dropped off at the workplace and the resource parent returns home. That is one round trip. The parent later leaves from the foster home to pick up the youth from work and returns back to the foster home. This is a second round trip. Identification of the purpose of the trip is entered in field 12 on the CD When Other Allowable is selected in field 12, an explanation must be entered. Reimbursement for these transportation needs shall be at a per mile rate for each mile round trip.

The name and DCN of the foster youth should be included on the supporting documentation.

The FST members should work with the school to discover and arrange transportation options. Resource parents, however, are not paid mileage for their commute to or from their place of employment. Full mileage will be reimbursed if the resource parent did not report to work the day being claimed.
TRED does not include transportation to school functions. When there is more than one youth being transported for a trip, the trip mileage must be divided between each of the youth who were on the trip.
This is a Federal, IV-E requirement. In compliance with the Level B Cooperative Agreement, CM-8, the Level B resource provider shall provide ordinary travel which is reasonable and customary including counseling, medical, dental, daily activities and family visits.

Residential treatment providers may receive mileage reimbursement for transportation costs as outlined in this section. The residential treatment provider may be reimbursed at the standard state rate for child specific transportation over miles round trip with RCST approval.

For cases that require frequent approval, the determination can be made at a Family Support Team FST meeting and a standing approval may be granted for that frequent child specific round trip. Trips made with multiple foster youth in the vehicle will be reimbursed as a single trip.
For example, if a mile trip is made with three eligible foster youth in the same vehicle, the provider will be reimbursed miles.
The reimbursement should be divided among all three eligible youth in the vehicle. The provider would identify youth one as traveling 34 miles, youth two as traveling 33 miles, and youth three as traveling 33 miles. Additional allowable child specific transportation trips that are intended to support the case plan may be made on a case by case situation and as approved by the FST, the RCST, and their supervisor.
