The Public Transportation program is designed to provide convenient and accessible transportation options for older adults. This program offers non-emergency medical transportation via taxi, public transit, or paratransit services, ensuring that older adults have the means to reach their medical appointments or run errands. Riders have the flexibility to schedule rides in advance, and payment options include insurance, vouchers, donations, and various membership or flat fees. Pricing is structured to accommodate different needs, with options for single rides, day passes, monthly passes, and annual subscriptions available at affordable rates. In addition to traditional transportation methods like buses and trains, this program also offers private rides via car, van, or rideshare services. Older adults can choose between on-demand scheduling for shared rides or fixed routes if they prefer a more structured transportation experience. The program prioritizes rider comfort and safety by providing door-to-door or curb-to-curb transportation services and allowing service animals to accompany passengers. With the added convenience of accepting various forms of payment including cash, check, credit card, and Medicaid, the Public Transportation program aims to support older adults in maintaining their independence and mobility.
