Transportation for JTSR Students

Students who are eligible for Job Training Student Resources (JTSR) services may apply for assistance with gas mileage reimbursement or bus passes while they are in classes at HCC.

Transportation (gas mileage) Reimbursement Policies:

  • Each semester there is an established date when the JTSR office will accept new transportation applications.
  • The application for transportation reimbursement must be filled out completely and signed by the student.
  • Students may not apply until after they have registered for the semester in which they are applying for assistance.
  • Students must re-apply each semester and must receive notification of approval from the JTSR office before submitting weekly vouchers.
  • Weekly vouchers are accepted no later than Friday by 4:30pm of the current week. No backdated vouchers will be accepted. If the college is closed on a Friday, the JTSR office will accept weekly vouchers until noon on Monday of the following week.
  • Transportation reimbursement is based on one round trip per day from the student’s home to HCC and back, regardless of how many trips the student actually makes or whether or not the student has classes at a remote location.
  • JTSR students must notify the JTSR office immediately if anything changes after the submission of their application (such as school schedule.).
  • Students may NOT submit vouchers for days the college is closed (snow day, holiday, etc.) even if the student’s class had assigned work, clinicals, etc. on that day.

 

Students approved for transportation reimbursement are reimbursed at a rate of $.20 per mile up to a maximum of $30 per week and are subject to the following semester cap amounts:

LEVEL ONE Short-Term Students (Finishing in one year or less in programs designed for direct career entry)

  • Up to $650 cap per semester

LEVEL TWO Long-Term Career Students (Career programs taking longer than one year to complete) 

  • Up to $500 cap per semester

 

NOTE: The semester cap amount is for the total combined assistance any student receives from JTSR (i.e. If the student gets transportation and child care assistance, they will reach their semester cap sooner.)
