Please make sure to contact South Central Council of Governments: Senior Services to confirm details of their transportation services.

The Transportation Assistance Program, known as Senior Services, offers convenient and accessible transportation options to support older adults in getting to essential medical appointments, grocery shopping, social outings, and more. This non-emergency medical transportation service primarily utilizes taxis to meet the diverse needs of older adults. Riders can arrange their trips at least one day in advance, ensuring a reliable and timely service. Membership in the program comes with various payment options, including insurance coverage, vouchers, coupons, donations, and Medicaid payments in some cases. There are pricing models like hourly rates, flat fees, or per-mile charges depending on the specific services required. Additionally, passengers can choose to pay in cash, by check, credit card, or through pre-payment for added convenience. One notable feature of this program is its commitment to inclusivity and assistance for older adults with mobility challenges. Along with paratransit services, door-to-door transportation, and packages assistance, the program also accommodates service animals when riders travel. This comprehensive service ensures that older adults can maintain their independence and stay connected to their community with ease.
