North Carolina:
The Transportation Really Is Possible (TRIP) pilot program ran from 2017 – 2019. At the time, this program provided up to $75,000 in funding on a first-come, first-serve basis for eligible foster youth and caregivers for costs associated with obtaining a learner’s permit or driver’s license. Sadly, this program was discontinued but North Carolina is working hard to develop new strategies to overcome the obstacles they have faced.
