[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course you pay for any transportation with the kids during work hours.

For personal time-
if you live < 1.2 mile from Metro, she should walk or ride bike there.  (I live this far from Metro and walk or bike daily)
if you live >1.2 mile, either give her a ride there, or pay for her Uber there, but give her a budget limit of $30-$40/week.  That should cover 6 rides or so.[/quote]

$40 a week would be $2000/year, which seems like a lot.

Yes, but host families have a responsibility to APs to make sure they can make friends and have an American cultural experience. This means either providing a car or easy transportation options.
If you do not allow AP to get out of the house, that is not in the spirit of the program and she will almost certainly rematch.

Many HFs, myself included, spend $ thousands/year on car expenses for AP (insurance, wear & tear, some even have a 3rd car)

OP- how far are you from Metro?  would you walk or bike there?  [/quote]
