How to apply for NACOG Senior & Rural Transportation (Apache County)
Northern Arizona Council of Governments (NACOG) Area Agency on Aging, Region III
Who it's for
NACOG Area Agency on Aging coordinates senior and disability transportation across rural Apache County, including demand-response rides to medical appointments, shopping, and errands through local senior centers and partner providers. Adults age 60 and over and people with disabilities can call 1-877-521-3500, or search AzRideInfo, to find available rides.
Apache County is largely rural with very limited fixed-route transit; rides are demand-response, coordinated by the NACOG AAA and local senior centers, and may require advance reservation and have limited service days/areas. Navajo Nation and other tribal-land residents may also use Navajo Transit System routes. Not legal or financial advice.
What you'll need
- Proof of age (60+) or disability status
- Advance ride reservation (often 24+ hours)
