Who it's for

TRADE is Mercer County's door-to-door para-transit service. It gives non-emergency rides to Mercer County residents who are 60 or older or who have a disability. Rides can go to medical and therapy visits, public and private programs, recreation, and other places in the community, and TRADE also offers trips for veterans to VA hospitals. Call TRADE at 609-530-1971 or email trade@mercercounty.org to ask about signing up and booking rides.

TRADE decides who is eligible and schedules rides based on available space, so this shows as a may-qualify result. Not legal or financial advice.
