Intake involves a lot of academic testing that can take 4-5 hours in total. If the youth has their documents, intake and their testing done, then they can be enrolled into the WIOA program. It is at this time, the client is eligible for Transportation. However, if the service they want the transportation for is not followed through consistently, the transportation service will be discontinued.
