From what I know palliative care is for treatment of symptoms and pain when a cure is not possible.

I think the transportation help comes under another section. but I could be wrong.
double check on your state website for the transportation assistance info.
I think they will reimburse you for any transportation.

but it's been a few years and I am in a different state.

Do you have a wc atty to help you with your claim?
