• AROUND-TOWN COURTESY VAN
For over 25 years the Council has contracted for around-town transportation on a BusyBee van…they went out of business and so did our community van…but…it is back! Thanks to a partnership with the Charles River YMCA we can once again offer residents rides around town on Wednesdays between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Reservations Required; 24 hours in advance. Call us at 781-444-2415
Van is not handicapped accessible; independent mobility is required.
• MEDICAL APPOINTMENT RIDES PROGRAM
- Medical appointments in Needham and local areas include: Dedham Medical, local PT appointments, labs, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, etc. We are not able to provide transportation into Boston or Brookline.
- Volunteer drivers utilize their own personal cars or the Council will set up a fee-based program [eg. LYFT] to provide the transportation [subsidized with Council funds]
- not handicapped-accessible
- Rides are considered curb to curb: driver picks up the person at their home and drops off at medical appointment location; no mobility assistance can be provided
- The driver will either wait for the person or come back when the appointment is finished at a pre-arranged time to bring the person home or call the Council office to have a Lyft ride arranged for pick up.
- Donations gratefully accepted by the Council office; no tipping please
