Does the COA provide rides to medical appointments that are located outside of Middleboro?

With the exception of a few specific physicians who are located in the neighboring town of Lakeville, the GATRA vans do not transport to out of town medicals. The COA recruits and coordinates a group of volunteer drivers to transport to medical appointment beyond Middleborough. To request a ride, please call the COA at least 7 days before the appointment, the more time the better. The dispatcher will contact the available volunteer drivers to set up the schedule as possible. Drivers are reimbursed for mileage by an agency OCPC Old colony Planning Council. Those who benefit from a ride will receive a letter to ask for a donation but all contributions are kept anonymous.
