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.
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.
