Transportation for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities

The ADRC contracts with various transportation companies to provide discounted rides and a means to get to scheduled medical appointments. Rides for shopping, social, and personal business are based on available funding. There is a $5 one-way copay. If your trip is over 100 miles, there is an added $10 surcharge.

Must meet all of the following criteria:

• Over the age of 60, or an adult with a temporary or permanent disability
• Reside at home
• No access to other transportation (including NEMT Transportation)
• No funding sources to provide other transportation (including NEMT Transportation)
• Not eligible for Medicaid or BadgerCare that would have NEMT Transportation as a benefit

NEMT Transportation for Forward Health Members

Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is a benefit for most Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members, and isn't affiliated with our ADRC department. Individuals who are eligible for medical assistance, or could be eligible if they applied, cannot use Chippewa County's discounted transportation program.

• To find out if you already have this NEMT transportation benefit, call Forward Health Member Services at 1-800-362-3002.
• To find out if you could be eligible, call Great Rivers Consortium at 1-888-283-0012 to apply for healthcare programs.
• To schedule a ride with NEMT, call 2 business days ahead at 1-866-907-1493 M-F 1am-6pm or online www.mtm-inc.net/wisconsin 

Vehicle Modification

This grant provides financial assistance to individuals with disabilities and/or their caregivers who require vehicle modifications to improve accessibility. It is funded through Section 85.21 state funding allocated to the ADRC to support the transportation needs of residents in Chippewa County. Some examples may include wheelchair lifts or ramps, hand controls, swivel seats, lowered floors, transfer seats, wheelchair restraint system, pedal extension, or a steering aid.
