The Transportation Assistance Program offers a variety of services to support older adults in getting to their destinations safely and efficiently. This program is tailored to provide non-emergency medical transportation through public transit options such as taxis, paratransit services, and rideshares. Additionally, the program allows for on-demand scheduling, providing convenience and flexibility to riders. Riders can choose between different payment options, including insurance, vouchers, donations, or credit card payments. Some services are free of charge, while others may require a flat fee, a membership fee, or payment by the mile. The program ensures accessibility by accepting Medicaid payments and offering assistance with packages or bags as needed. One of the standout features of this program is the personalized care provided to riders. From door-to-door transportation to accommodating service animals, the program prioritizes the comfort and convenience of older adults. Furthermore, riders can expect dedicated drivers who are willing to wait for them during errands or appointments, enhancing their overall transportation experience.
