The Older Americans Transportation Service (OATS) is a donation-based transportation program designed to provide older adults with affordable and convenient rides within the community. The program operates on suggested fees for older adults based on the distance of the trip, with non-older adult riders required to pay a set fee. To ensure smooth operations, riders are encouraged to schedule their rides in advance, allowing for proper planning and coordination. Accepted forms of payment for the OATS program include checks and cash, offering flexibility for riders. OATS facilitates shared van rides, promoting a sense of community and companionship among passengers. The program's curb-to-curb transportation services prioritize the comfort and safety of older adult passengers, ensuring they are dropped off and picked up directly at their desired locations. When utilizing the OATS program, consider booking rides in advance to secure your transportation needs promptly. Whether you have a medical appointment, want to run errands, or simply need a ride to social activities, OATS is dedicated to meeting the unique transportation requirements of older adults in a reliable and compassionate manner.
