The Transportation Service program offers convenient and accessible transportation options for older adults who may require assistance getting to non-emergency medical appointments, running errands, attending appointments, or simply traveling around town. This program provides flexibility in scheduling rides, allowing riders to book in advance, typically at least one day ahead, to ensure timely service. The program includes various payment options, such as insurance, vouchers, coupons, donations, membership fees, flat fees, and even Medicaid payments in some cases.
Riders can expect a range of transportation modes, including taxis, public transit like buses or trains, and private rides in cars or vans. The program offers paratransit services, ensuring individuals with mobility challenges are accommodated with door-to-door or curb-to-curb transportation. Additionally, the program allows for on-demand scheduling and shared rides, promoting cost-effective and environmentally friendly travel.
One of the unique features of this program is the availability of helpful services like assistance with packages or bags and the option for drivers to wait for passengers during their stops. Most importantly, riders are encouraged to plan their transportation needs ahead of time to secure their preferred schedule, with the flexibility to arrange trips even up to a week in advance. Service animals are permitted, ensuring that all older adults can travel comfortably and independently with the support they need.
