Franklin Regional Transit Authority Med-Ride Program
Transportation is available for ambulatory persons 60 years or older, who reside in Franklin County and need to travel outside of Franklin County for a medical appointment. Volunteer drivers who have completed a vetting process with the FRTA provide consumers with transportation using their own vehicles.
For more information view the Med-Ride brochure.
If you would like to schedule a ride, please contact the FRTA customer call center during regular business hours at 413-774-2262, or 888-301-2262, and dial 0 for a representative.
