When life changes
Help getting around
Transportation is the most county-specific benefit area there is: reduced transit fares, ADA paratransit, dial-a-ride vans, and volunteer driver programs are all run locally — which means what's available depends almost entirely on the county.
Medical-appointment rides often have their own separate programs through Medicaid or the aging agency. A five-minute check shows what runs where you live, with official links.
What changes
- Most transit agencies offer senior reduced fares — often starting at 60 or 65
- Paratransit and dial-a-ride serve people who can't use regular routes
- Volunteer driver programs fill the gaps in rural counties
- Medicaid often covers rides to medical appointments separately
