Transportation

Volunteer Medical Transportation:  This program provides door to door transportation to medical appointments only for persons who are 60 and older.  The program is designed for those individuals who need minimal assistance but are no longer able to drive to medical appointments within or outside of Pierce County.  Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to take individuals to medical appointments. Drivers are reimbursed by the ADRC for mileage accrued during the transport.  Individuals will be asked to donate what they are able to afford to help defray those reimbursement costs.

Basic hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  Participants must call 715-273-6780 or 1-877-273-0804 to schedule rides with as much notice as possible.
