Transportation

There is a network of transportation services, public and private, that will pick up the disabled and the elderly at their homes. These services rely on vans and paid drivers and run on a schedule to specific locations. Free transportation is available from community volunteer organizations, although most public services charge on a sliding scale.

Community transportation services are provided by:

  • home health care agencies
  • public health departments
  • religious organizations
  • civic clubs
  • the local American Red Cross
  • the Area Agency on Aging
  • local public transportation companies

NOTE Many states ensure transportation to necessary medical care for Medicaid recipients. Check with your local Medicaid office to see if you qualify.
