Transportation services are intended to assist older adults who cannot provide or arrange their own transportation to maintain or regain the ability to live and function as independently as possible. Transportation is provided to locations, which enable older adults to access services and/or carry-out essential daily living tasks such as medical care facilities, nutrition sites, grocery stores, etc.

• Must be 60 years of age or older
• Must be in need of the service

The Project on Aging contracts with AppalCart to provide transportation services. Eligible participants may ride at no charge two days each week and may pay a fee to ride additional days when AppalCart is in their area.
