Some communities have transportation services specifically targeted for medical care. However, most transportation services can be used without a medical need. Check online at www.publictransportation.org/systems and the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging Web site at www.n4a.org. Also check your local business telephone directory under transportation for additional transportation services in your area.
