Transportation
OPTIONS
C
aregiving has many challenges but sometimes
just getting your care partner to and from the
places he or she needs to go can seem insur-
mountable. Transportation can be as simple as calling
a cab but if you need to have a vehicle with special
features, like a lift, where do you call? Below is a list-
ing of the type of transportation services available in
and around Howard County. Fees will vary. Certain
programs have age requirements or an individual may
need to meet certain health requirements. Others
provide transportation to only specific locations.
Depending on the destination, the mode of
transportation, and your care partner’s ability
level it may be appropriate for him/her to travel
independently. In other cases, an attendant may be
needed. Each person’s needs must be considered
when choosing a transportation option.
