How does the transportation program work regarding doctor appointments? Dial-a-Ride? Shopping?

All transportation must take place within the Taylor city limits and requires an advance 48 hours notice. We provide transportation to the center (referred to as Dial a Ride), to the doctors, banking and pharmacy.  All payments to the doctors are due at the time of service. There is $2 fee for doctors’ trips only.  All other transportation is free.


Shopping Trips are Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. (time-frame at the store). Trip includes pick-up and drop-off at home, and please only buy what you can carry in one trip. Our drivers are not able to assist with your purchases. The shopping schedule is as follows:

- Mondays - Meijer

- Tuesdays - Walmart

- Thursdays - Kroger


Pharmacy and Bank Trips are offered Monday through Thursday (pick up window between 9 and 10 a.m.). Trip includes pick-up and drop-off at home for one person daily.


Doctor Trips are offered Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1p.m. The fee is $2. Trip includes pick-up and drop-off at home. The Doctor/Dentist/Eye Doctor must be located in the City of Taylor. Please be ready one hour before scheduled appointment.
