NavComm said:Someone asked me the following question and I think the answer is just the driver, but I don't get travel assistance so I'm no expert on it...If more than one member travels on Class A more than 16 km to their reserve unit (ie: carpools) do they all claim TD it or just the driver?
Ethically and legally only the driver is incurring costs to travel to training (fuel, vehicle wear & tear etc.). Therfore only the driver would be entitled to claim TAA.

Yep! It was a DCBA policy change. The CDS Decision Letter quoted above clearly describes the reasoning behind this. Not well thought out IMO.
The wording in the first line of the CANFORGEN
makes me suspect that once a new policy is enacted, Class B Reservists could, once again, lose this entitlement.will continue to be entitled to the benefit until a new policy is promulgated
