Cars

Foster families must have safely operating vehicles that are insured. The vehicle should also be large enough to transport the family. You may be required to present a plan for responding to emergencies.   Some counties require that vehicles be large enough to transport the entire family at the same time.

Car insurance must be provided. Vehicles must also be safe to operate.

Foster children will need to be taken for visitation with parents and other family members, to court, medical & dental appointments, school, and extra-curricular activities.  If a foster parent does not have a valid driver’s license, they must present a feasible plan on how the children will be transported to necessary activities.
