The Public Transportation program is a versatile and accessible option for older adults who require non-emergency medical transportation services. This program offers various modes of transportation, such as taxis, buses, trains, and vans, ensuring that older adults can choose the most suitable option for their needs. The program allows for on-demand scheduling, shared rides, door-to-door transportation, and curb-to-curb service, making it convenient and flexible for older adults with varying mobility levels. Riders can make use of this program by scheduling their trips at least one day in advance, with options for scheduling further in advance for specific needs. The pricing structure of the program varies based on eligibility through participating human service agencies, with payment options including insurance, vouchers, coupons, donations, and Medicaid. Additionally, riders can pay for their trips using cash, checks, credit cards, or pre-payment, depending on their preference. One of the unique features of the Public Transportation program is that it provides assistance with packages or bags and allows service animals to accompany riders. For those who may need extra support, the program offers paratransit services and provides drivers who are willing to wait for passengers during errands or appointments. Overall, this program aims to enhance the mobility and independence of older adults by offering a range of transportation options tailored to their individual requirements.
