[nabs-l] hiring a driver/ is hiring a driver a reasonable accomidation?

[Jim Reed]

hello,
First,
To the person who was trying to hire a driver to get to/from school: Are there no taxi cabs where you live? I take a cab to class and VR pays for it.

Second,
I am pursuing a job with Montana State Parks. At $10/hpur, the position I am interviewing for is the highest paid summer position avaliable within the MT state parks system.  As the pay is so pathetically low, it would probably cost me more money to hire a driver than I could make. Is it a reasonable accommodation to ask a government agency to hire a driver if the "qualifications" section of the vacancy announcement requires a valid drivers license, and, the "duties" section requires almost daily field work?

hanks,
Jim
