Elderly Transportation Program

Transportation services are available under The Older Americans Act of 1965. There are two categories of services:

1) General
2) Medical

These services provide travel to and/or from community resources such as medical facilities, nutrition sites, or other locations for the purpose of accessing needed services or carrying out activities necessary for daily living. Services are limited to individuals 60+ years of age. YVEDDI provides services to Davie , Surry, and Yadkin County. There is no cost for this service; however, service recipients will have the opportunity to voluntarily contribute to the cost of the service they receive. Revenues collected from service recipients are used to expand services to other clients. Services will not be terminated if a service recipient is unable to make a contribution.
