About our program
Our transportation service provides trips for social purposes and non-emergency medical appointments. We provide transport to those who meet the eligibility criteria by trained volunteers. Our volunteers use their personal vehicles, and paid drivers utilize wheelchair accessible vans. This service is also available for long-distance medical appointments.
There is a nominal client fee for the service which is based upon the distance travelled and available funding sources.
Booking transportation
The service is available Monday to Saturday from 7:00 am until 7:00 pm. Exceptions can be made if a medical or dialysis appointment can only be accommodated on Sunday. Arrangements may be made to accommodate medical trips past 7 p.m. if the resources are available.
HCSS requires a minimum of two business days’ notice to book a trip. Please arrange all rides through the scheduling office. Pickup and drop-off times are established and communicated, as well as the client fee.
