Ticket to Ride
Arranged through the Stagecoach, Ticket to Ride helps pay up to 80% of the cost of rides for senior citizens (60+) and persons with disabilities when there is not available transportation in the household or the person requesting the trips is unable to drive on the day of the trip. Ticket to Ride is available for a broad array of destinations, such as medical services, shopping, errands, and social purposes. The person receiving the ride will be requested to pay 20% of the cost of the trip.
On an annual cycle, between July 1st and June 30th, an individual can receive up to $500 worth of rides; $700 for a two-person household; and $1000 for a person transported in a wheelchair. For critical care transportation such as dialysis or cancer treatment there is no individual annual funding limitation. However, the number of round trips per month is limited to ten for dialysis and fifteen for cancer treatment. All transportation provided through Ticket to Ride is conditional upon the availability of funds in the program
Ticket to Ride will not pay for rides to airports, train / bus stations, or out of state locations, except local area medical facilities or shopping in West Lebanon, NH.
Private Pay
If you would like a ride that is not eligible for payment through Medicaid or Ticket to Ride funding, you may still have Stagecoach arrange the trip. Prior to delivery of the trip, Stagecoach will request an advance payment.
