The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has added a Transportation Service to the AAW, effective January 1, 2020. Since 2020, some changes have been implemented, and further changes have been made for the July 2026 Amendment. This communication is intended to provide updated guidance to SCs on how to add this service to ISPs. Transportation is a direct service that enables participants to access their community, as well as jobs, volunteer opportunities, and other activities, as specified in their approved ISP.

 

The service consists of:

  • Public Transportation (W7272)
  • Transportation Trip (W7274, W7275, W7276)

 

Please see ODPANN 26-071 for additional information.

 

Questions about this communication should be directed to your appropriate Bureau of Supports for Autism and Special Populations (BSASP) Regional office.
