  • Councils on Aging (COAs) often provide transportation services to seniors and people with disabilities. Contact your local COA to learn what options may be available in your town.
  • Veterans' transportation services can help veterans get to medical appointments in the VA system or other medical networks.
  • Volunteer driver programs may be able to help you find a volunteer in your community who can drive you to some of your appointments.
  • Other transportation services may help you get to your appointments.

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.
