Aging Elder Action: Transportation Services.
Transportation Services: Where to Get Them in Your Community. Introduction.
Call 211
2-1-1 is the national abbreviated dialing code for free access to health and human services information and referral (I&R). 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember and universally recognizable number that makes a critical connection between individuals and families in need and the appropriate community-based organizations and government agencies. 2-1-1 makes it possible for people in need to navigate the complex and ever-growing maze of human services’ agencies and programs. By making services easier to access, 2-1-1 encourages prevention and fosters self-sufficiency.

The goal of any transportation system is to provide the mobility options that meet the travel needs of all community members. Within every community there are residents whose physical limitations may prevent full access to all transportation services. In many cases, these individuals are transit dependent.
