Theoretically you CAN NOT work with that SSN# offcampus. But that does not mean that practically you cannt do that Ideally for you would be to request a work permit from INS due to the financial hardship. They dont usually issue those easily, but you can still try. Talk to the Intern. Student advisor at your school, she/he should be able to help you with that.
If you are risky enough, you can just go ahead and start working at the supermarket with the SSN# you have. As I said Its risky, and if you are caught you can be deported for the immigration law violation, especially those days. So, the choice is yours.
Check out the Fin Aid section at http://abroadplanet.com it has tons of info.
I dont quite get what do you mean by "better transportation"
Hope that help. T.
