Transportation

Van
Toyota Sienna Minivan

The Truro Council on Aging is pleased to provide van transportation services to Truro residents who are at least 60 years old or for adults with disabilities to destinations within Barnstable County.  Through the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, a wheelchair accessible van is available to people with physical limitations, who use wheelchairs and/or other mobility aides. 

Transportation services are available Monday thru Friday for medical appointments. . We also provide transportation to Truro Council on Aging for all programs, classes, community luncheon and food pantry. 

A minimum of two business days (48 hours) is needed for all ride requests.  The following information must be available when calling for a transportation reservation:  name of rider; phone and address, physician’s name, phone and address or the address of an appointment if other than medical; date/ time of the appointment and approximate length of the appointment.  Please note that the starting pick up point and return destination must be within the town of Truro.

  • Your ride will be confirmed the week of your appointment.
  • Please try to schedule any appointments in Yarmouth, Hyannis or Sandwich no earlier than 9:30 a.m. and to be completed no later than 3:00 p.m.

We will gladly continue to accept donations to help offset the cost of providing the ride but ask that it be done in the form of a check, preferably mailed to the COA. The drivers can-not handle the donations at all. The donation box will still be in the vehicle for you to use if mailing a check is a problem or you prefer to use cash.

Fees are not required for this service, but voluntary donations are appreciated to help defray the vehicle costs to the town.  

If you would like more information about transportation services or would like to schedule a ride, please call the Truro Council on Aging at 508-487-2462.

The Truro Council on Aging Transportation Service is funded in part by the MA Office of Elder Affairs and the Federal Administration for Community Living by a contract from Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands.
