How to apply for Office for the Aging Medical Transportation (Wyoming County) in New York

Who it's for

The Wyoming County Office for the Aging gives rides to medical appointments inside Wyoming County for people age 60 and over. Appointments should be between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., and rides must be set up at least 5 days ahead. The suggested donation is $2.50 per 10 miles. Limited wheelchair rides are available. For appointments outside the county, the Transportation Coordinator keeps a list of independent drivers who are paid back for mileage. The rider usually pays the driver, but grant money covers a limited number of out-of-county trips. Call the Office for the Aging at 585-786-8833 to set up a ride.

What you'll need
