[Rania]

Hi yes there are cabs near me but it will caust me $100 a day to use a cab 
to get to and from class. Rehab will not help me with transportation or 
hyering a driver because they helped me with transportation when i was 
attending classes at my local community college.

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
