Bike to Work

Overview

The Bike to Work program provides free bicycles to eligible individuals. All bicycle requests must go through CWES staff.

Program Eligibility

Benefits under this program are limited to qualified individuals who do not own a vehicle. Active CalWORKsand Cal-Learn participants who meet weekly hours of participation with employment, work experience or community service as their primary or concurrent activities are eligible. Participants enrolled at an adult education site, college (includes universities or private schools), or through an approved Cal-Learn provider are also eligible.

A Cal-Learn teen or 13 to 18 year-old teenager of active CalWORKs families, must be:

• Attending school and
• Be employed.

Post-Aid Services

Post-aid families who have minor children must be currently employed. Post-aid 60-day job seeking participants are not eligible for the Bike to Work Program.

Required Verifications

The EC is required to verify the WTW participant’s employment, work experience, or community service activity by using CalWIN and document in case comments that client met the Bike to Work eligibility requirements. School attendance must be verified using CalSAWS or client statement. Verification from the school is not required.

Proof of employment is required for the Cal-Learn teen or 13 to 18 year-old teenager of active CalWORKs families. If the teenager is paid cash, the client must complete and sign the “Daily Wage Statement” (SCD 2227). If a current employment verification is in IDM for the teen, the EC does not need to request verification.
