The Driver Escort Program is a convenient transportation service designed for older adults who need assistance getting to medical appointments and other destinations. With this program, older adults can access rides in a comfortable car, ensuring they can attend important appointments and activities without the stress of driving or navigating public transportation. Participants in the program are responsible for a co-pay of 30 cents per mile for medical appointments, while non-medical rides are available at the current IRS mileage rate. Payments for the service can be made via check or cash, providing flexibility for riders. To utilize the program, older adults are required to schedule their rides in advance, typically at least a few days before the planned trip. This advance scheduling helps ensure that there is availability and allows for efficient coordination of transportation services. The Driver Escort Program operates on a per-mile charging system, offering a cost-effective solution for older adults who need reliable transportation. When considering transportation options through this program, individuals are encouraged to plan their rides in advance to guarantee a smooth and timely experience.
