Section Number: 617.28
Section Name: Transportation payments.

    (a) Eligibility. A trainee under this subpart C shall be afforded 

supplemental assistance necessary to pay transportation expenses if the 

training is outside the commuting area, but may not receive such 

assistance if transportation is arranged for the trainee as part of a 

group and paid for by the State agency or to the extent the trainee 

receives a payment of transportation expenses under another Federal law, 

or to the extent the individual is entitled to be paid or reimbursed for 

such expenses from any other source.

    (b) Amount. A transportation allowance shall not exceed the lesser 

of:

    (1) The actual cost for travel by the least expensive means of 

transportation reasonably available between the trainee's home and the 

training facility; or

    (2) The cost per mile at the prevailing mileage rate authorized 

under the Federal travel regulations. See 41 CFR part 101-7.

    (c) Travel included. Travel for which a transportation allowance 

shall be paid includes travel:

    (1) At the beginning and end of the training program;

    (2) When the trainee fails for good cause, as described in 

Sec. 617.18(b)(2), to complete the training program; and

    (3) For daily commuting, in lieu of subsistence, but not exceeding 

the amount otherwise payable as subsistence for each day of commuting.

    (d) Applications. Applications for transportation payments shall be 

filed in accordance with this subpart C and on forms which shall be 

furnished to trainees by the State agency. Payments may be made in 

advance. An adjustment shall be made if the amount of an advance is less 

or more than the amount to which the trainee is entitled under paragraph 

(b) of this section. A determination as to an application made under 

this section shall be subject to Secs. 617.50 and 617.51.
