Travel or transportation allowance

Travel or transportation allowance

The travel allowance is available for students who live in areas that lack public transit.

Students who live more than 24 kilometres from their course location may receive a daily travel allowance because the distance traveled for the return trip exceeds 48 kilometers. This allowance is set at about 10 cents per each kilometre over 48.

Transportation allowance

Students referred by the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale may receive an allowance to cover their transportation costs. In Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, Québec, Sherbrooke and Gatineau, the amount of the allowance is based on public transit fares.

For persons living in a region without public transit, the travel allowance may apply.
