HHS and DOL, in concert with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), are working closely together in providing coordinated guidance to encourage States, tribes, and and communities to take full advantage of existing resources to develop seamless, integrated services addressing the transportation challenge of moving people from welfare to work. This guidance is intended to augment the current regulatory and statutory provisions.The three agencies originally issued joint guidance on May 4, 1998. That guidance was updated on December 23, 1998. This update reflects subsequent legislative changes in the Welfare-to-Work (WtW) grant programs since the last update, discussion of "assistance" pursuant to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program final regulations (45 CFR 260.31), and clarification of the use of TANF funds in transportation projects.
