I need a ride to the doctor

Transportation can be the biggest barrier to medical care. This path helps people find MATP, COLTS, senior transportation, accessible rides, and other ways to get to appointments.

Start here

Healthcare is not just finding a provider. It can also mean getting there, paying for care, getting medicine, and understanding paperwork.

Start with MATP if you have Medical Assistance

MATP may help eligible Medical Assistance recipients get to covered appointments. Confirm the current Lackawanna County MATP contact, scheduling rules, and documentation requirements.

Check COLTS and public transit

COLTS may help people reach hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, jobs, libraries, grocery stores, and community resources.

Look for special transportation needs

Cancer treatment, dialysis, wheelchair transportation, senior rides, veteran transportation, and volunteer driver programs may be available.
