The Rural Transportation program is a flexible and convenient non-emergency medical transportation service available to older adults residing in rural areas. Operating as a public transit program, it offers door-to-door transportation via taxi, ensuring that older adults can access necessary medical appointments, run errands, or attend social engagements. To utilize this service, riders are required to schedule their rides at least one day in advance, allowing for efficient planning and coordination. This program accepts various forms of payment, including insurance, vouchers, and donations, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals. The pricing structure is designed to accommodate different travel distances, with fares ranging from $3 to $9 each way based on the number of miles traveled. Additionally, riders can pre-pay for their trips or use credit card, cash, or check as payment methods. One of the standout features of the Rural Transportation program is its provision of paratransit services, ensuring that individuals with mobility challenges or disabilities can safely and comfortably access transportation. This program also offers shared rides and on-demand scheduling, maximizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness for older adults in rural communities. With a focus on customer service and accessibility, this program aims to enhance the overall well-being and independence of older adults by providing reliable transportation options tailored to their needs.
