The Transportation Benefit Program is a non-emergency medical transportation option available to older adults, offering convenient and reliable taxi services for those in need of transportation within a specific area. This public transit program allows older adults to schedule rides in advance, ensuring timely pickups for medical appointments, errands, or social outings. Riders have the flexibility to pay for services through various methods, including insurance, vouchers, coupons, donations, or Medicaid payments. The program offers affordable pricing options, with a suggested donation of $3.50 per ride for the core area and $5.50 per ride within the premium area. Additionally, there is a membership fee or flat fee structure in place to make the program accessible to all older adults. The program's focus on paratransit services means that riders can expect assistance with packages or bags, as well as door-to-door or curb-to-curb transportation. With the option for shared rides, private car services, or transportation via bus or train, older adults can choose the mode of transportation that best suits their needs. The program's commitment to on-demand scheduling and accommodating service animals makes it a valuable resource for older adults seeking reliable transportation options.
