Transportation
Services
Transportation services range from providing assistance
to those who want to obtain a driver's license but have a
handicapping condition, to those services that actually
transport. Be careful to check the type of service provided
to determine if you qualify.
Some people who work as homemakers will transport their
clients to appointments, errands and the market.
