Transportation Functionality

This guide will help you enable and configure transportation tracking in Giv.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Step 1: enable the transportation feature

  1. Log into Giv and click the dropdown arrow in the top-right corner

  2. Go to Feature Settings

  3. Find the Transportation section

  4. Toggle it ON

    🔒 Note: This is OFF by default for new accounts


Step 2: create a transportation form template

Once the transportation feature is enabled:

  1. Go to Forms → Form Templates

  2. Click Create New Template

  3. Name your form (e.g., “Transportation - Mileage Based”)

  4. Check the box for “Enable Transportation”

  5. Choose:

    • Billing (if reimbursed by a payer like Medicaid)

    • Caregiver Reimbursement (if paid directly to staff)


Step 3: customize your form

Default transportation forms include:

  • Odometer Start

  • Odometer End

  • Clients Transported

Optional fields you can add:

  • Date/Time (even though this is timestamped automatically)

  • Travel guides or notes (especially useful for states that don’t require odometer readings)

  • Additional form fields like drop-downs, checkboxes, or text areas

⚠️ Odometer fields are currently required due to state requirements, but this will be updated in a future release.


Step 4: verify transportation data in billing

  1. Go to Billing → Billing Summary

  2. Use the filter to view Distance or Trip-based transportation data

    • Mileage-based entries will show odometer-based calculations

    • Trip-based forms can be tracked and reported separately

📌 Important:
To appear in the billing summary, the form must be marked as a transportation form. Simply naming a form "Transportation" is not enough—you must check the “Enable Transportation” box when creating the template.


Step 5: make the form available to staff

Once created, transportation forms will automatically be accessible to staff with permission to complete them.
