1. WDACS New Freedom Taxicab Services Program: This provides taxicab services to eligible clients. Clients will be able to reserve taxicab services with the assistance of a Mobility Manager. Those who meet the program eligibility criteria may use taxicab services for their transportation needs, such as medical appointments, grocery shopping, banking, or life enriching activities, within the specified monthly allowance. Clients can take a maximum of four, one-way trips totaling 40 miles each month at no cost to the participant.  All rides must originate and end in Los Angeles County.
2. WDACS New Freedom Volunteer Driver Mileage Reimbursement Program: This program provides mileage reimbursements for volunteer drivers that eligible clients recruit for themselves.  Volunteer drivers provide transportation to the eligible client when no other transportation services exist or when the individual is too frail, ill, or unable to use public transportation for other reasons.

• Upon establishing that the client is eligible for services, the County Mobility Manager will set guidelines and mileage reimbursement limits for each trip approved for the client.  Eligible clients are responsible for recruiting their personal volunteer to provide the approved transportation services.  The volunteer driver will provide the transportation to client (using their own vehicle) with a flexible schedule that works for both driver and client.  The client will receive mileage reimbursement for the approved trips on a monthly basis and is then responsible for reimbursing the volunteer driver for the trips provided.
• The programs are available to the general public; however, client eligibility and priorities of service have been implemented to ensure service is provided to those who are most in need.
