Long-distance medical shuttles
Long-distance medical shuttles operated by Regional Transit Authorities are available in some areas for transportation into medical facilities in Boston or other areas. Before you schedule your appointment, check what days and times the shuttle runs. When you call the doctor, request an appointment at a time when the shuttle is operating. Many shuttles require advance registration. Some services are on hold due to the pandemic, so please check with each service for the latest updates.
