Bike to Work Requests

When the EC becomes aware that the WTW or Cal-Learn participant meets the requirements, the Bike to Work program should be discussed. The EC should also explain the program to parents whose 13 to 18 year-old is employed.

“Ancillary Expenses, Estimate, Request and Verification” (SCD 1584) is completed by the EC. The cost of the following items must be included with each approval of a bicycle:

• bicycle
• lock,
• lights, and
• safety helmet.

Approving the Request

ECs must review the eligibility requirements for the Bike to Work program and either approve or deny the request.

If approved, the EC notifies the client to provide two (2) estimates for a bicycle, including the cost of a helmet, lock and lights. The maximum amount payable is $500. Advance payments are issued as an ancillary payment, with a type of “Bike to Work”, based on the lowest cost estimate for the bike, helmet, lock and lights.

Case comments must be entered in CalSAWS when payment is issued for bicycles and associated equipment.
