Medical Taxi Voucher Program
WHO:
- All Wayland seniors (60+ years of age) and disabled people of any age.
WHAT:
- The Medical Taxi Voucher program provides for a discounted taxi ride for medical appointments and medically related activities at the Council on Aging. By using pre-purchased vouchers you end up paying for your taxi fare at a 40% discount. These vouchers may only be used with our contracted vendor, JFK Transportation, (508) 653-4500.
WHEN:
- Taxis are available 7 days a week from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm.
WHERE:
- Wherever you need to go for your medical appointment. (Multiple vouchers may be used on a trip. Taxi rides to Boston hospital are fixed rate - $70 in meter time each way - using medical taxi voucher tickets brings your cost down to $42 each way).
COST:
- Pay $15 for a book of vouchers worth $25 in meter time. Depending on the distance you are traveling you may need to purchase multiple books to cover your total fare. For Boston Only: A one way taxi voucher for Boston trips may be purchased for $42. This will cover the JFK flat rate fare of $70 for one way to Boston. You will need to purchase 2 Boston tickets for a round trip.
HOW:
- To purchase tickets you may come to the COA to pick them up, or mail a check and include a note regarding what you are ordering. Upon receipt of your request, we will mail the boolet (s) to you.
TIPS:
- This is a personalized service and a driver gratuity is expected.
