Step-by-Step

How Do I Apply?

  • Check if you qualify for Medicaid transport. If you have Medicaid, call the number on your insurance card and ask about Non-Emergency Medical Transportation. You're entitled to free rides to medical appointments.
  • Find your county's transit system. Use our county pages to find local bus routes, schedules, and reduced-fare applications. Many transit agencies have online trip planners.
  • Call 211 for ride assistance. Dial 211 to be connected with community ride programs, volunteer driver services, and gas voucher programs in your area.
  • Book rides in advance. Most medical transport and paratransit require 48-hour advance booking. Schedule recurring appointments (like dialysis) as standing rides.
  • Explore vehicle assistance. If you need a car for work, search for vehicle donation programs and low-cost repair services on your county page or through your local community action agency.
