How to apply for Senior & Accessible Transportation (CountyRide) — Baltimore

Who it's for
Baltimore is served by CountyRide demand-response vans (elderly, disabled, and rural residents) and the Towson Loop under MDOT MTA's Locally Operated Transit Systems program. Older adults and people with disabilities can use reduced fares, demand-response rides, or ADA paratransit for medical appointments, shopping, and errands — services and fares vary by system. The Area Agency on Aging (410-887-2594) helps arrange senior transportation.
Service areas, fares, and ride availability are set by each local system; some services extend to ages 60+ or the general public.
