Provides rides for any purpose, as long as you meet one of the following criteria: you are 60+ years old.

The Taxi Voucher Program is a convenient transportation service designed for older adults who have non-emergency medical needs or require assistance getting around. Participants in the program have the flexibility to schedule private rides via taxi by booking at least one day in advance, offering a reliable and personalized travel option. This program is part of public transit services, ensuring that riders have access to essential transportation for medical appointments, grocery shopping, or other necessary errands. To use this program, participants can purchase vouchers at a cost of $5 each, with the option to buy up to 12 vouchers per month. These vouchers do not expire and are used to pay for rides, typically requiring 1-3 vouchers each way depending on the distance traveled. Additionally, riders can use Medicaid payments, cash, credit cards, or checks to cover the cost of their transportation. A customary tip of $1-3 is appreciated for excellent service but remains optional for riders. The Taxi Voucher Program operates as a paratransit service, offering door-to-door transportation and assistance with packages or bags, ensuring a comfortable and supportive travel experience. With the option for on-demand scheduling and shared rides, this program caters to the diverse needs of older adults, providing a vital link to essential services within their community.
