Please make sure to contact FISH of Downers Grove: Volunteer Transportation to confirm details of their transportation services.

Volunteer Transportation is a comprehensive non-emergency medical transportation program designed to assist older adults in accessing necessary transportation services. This program ensures that older adults can travel conveniently and comfortably to medical appointments and other vital destinations through the use of taxis, private car services, and public transit options such as buses and trains. Riders have the flexibility to schedule rides in advance, with options for on-demand scheduling also available. One of the key features of Volunteer Transportation is its commitment to providing a range of payment options to accommodate various financial situations. Riders can choose to pay via insurance, Medicaid, vouchers, coupons, cash, credit card, or check. The program also encourages donations and offers a membership fee structure or flat fees for rides. Additionally, Volunteer Transportation offers free-of-charge services, ensuring that older adults with limited financial resources can still access transportation assistance. Moreover, Volunteer Transportation prioritizes the safety and convenience of its riders by offering door-to-door, curb-to-curb, or even parcel assistance during rides. This program also welcomes service animals onboard and provides shared rides for those looking to connect with others in their community. With a focus on accessibility and reliability, Volunteer Transportation is dedicated to supporting older adults in maintaining their independence and well-being through reliable transportation services.
