The Demand Response Service program is a convenient transportation option specifically designed for older adults who require non-emergency medical transportation. Operating as a public transit service, this program offers private rides in cars or vans, as well as shared rides via bus or train, all while following fixed routes. Riders have the flexibility to schedule rides on-demand or in advance, with options ranging from a few days to up to a week before the desired travel date. To access this program, riders can expect a range of payment methods, including insurance, vouchers, coupons, donations, or Medicaid payments. Pricing is structured with a membership fee and flat fee based on the destination, with reduced fares available. Most notably, this program provides door-to-door transportation, ensuring a stress-free experience for older adults needing assistance with packages or bags. Additionally, riders can benefit from a unique service where the driver can wait during errands or appointments, offering extra support and peace of mind throughout the journey. Service animals are permitted, making this program inclusive and accommodating for all older adults.
