How to apply for Senior Transportation (Valley Program for Aging Services) — Highland in Virginia
Valley Program for Aging Services (VPAS)
Who it's for
Valley Program for Aging Services (VPAS), the Area Agency on Aging for the region including Highland County, provides wheelchair-accessible van transportation for adults 60 and older who can no longer drive — to routine medical appointments, grocery stores, pharmacies, and banks when no other transportation option is available. There is no formal fee; a voluntary donation is suggested. Pre-screening and advance notice are required. Call 540-468-2178 (the VPAS Highland County office) to apply.
Service areas, reduced-fare eligibility, and ride availability are set by the transit provider, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
