The Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP) is a public transit program designed to provide older adults with transportation to medical appointments. Participants in this program can utilize their insurance, particularly Medicaid, for payment of transportation services. MATP offers free transportation services via bus or train, ensuring that older adults can easily access necessary medical care. Riders using MATP are required to schedule their transportation at least a few days in advance, allowing for a seamless and efficient booking process. This program provides curb-to-curb transportation, meaning that older adults will receive assistance from the pick-up point to their medical destination. By prioritizing accessibility and affordability, MATP plays a vital role in helping older adults overcome transportation barriers and attend crucial medical appointments on time.
