>>Medicaid Residents' Program to Get Funds for Transportation Assistance
(Harrisburg, PA) -- A grant is coming from the federal government to help elderly people who use the Find My Ride online tool for public transportation. The governor's office says the 750-thousand dollar grant from the Federal Transit Administration will help provide non-emergency medical transportation for Medicaid-eligible residents who don't have access to a car. Some eight-thousand elderly citizens have applied for benefits to transit agencies over the past year.
