The Trustee’s Office can provide a number of transportation services for those in need.  Please see below for a listing.  Again, if you should have any questions, please contact us at (219)663-0250.

TRANSPORTATION AND DEPORTATION – Lake County Community Services (219)663-0627 may provide transportation to individual applicants to seek and accept employment within or outside Center Township when there is reasonable evidence that employment is available.

AUTOMOBILES – An automobile is not, by statute, recognized as a basic necessity. Therefore, automobile payments and other related expenses are not considered acceptable expenses.

TRANSPORTATION \ DEPORTATION - Re-Application – Any indigent person who has been sent to a place of settlement, by court order, or is transported there at public expense (township assistance), and who again willfully makes an application for assistance in any township or a county other than that of his\her legal settlement may be denied township assistance for a period not to exceed 180 days. The denial period begins the day township assistance is again requested. (IC 12-20-9-6)
