Transportation
If you are 60+ years old and live in one of the communities listed below, contact your local Council on Aging to schedule a NEET ride.
The NEET program works with the Councils on Aging (COA) to provide transportation services for the following 14 communities in the lower Merrimack Valley in Massachusetts.
If your community is not listed here, see Other Transportation Programs for additional resources that may be helpful.
How NEET Transportation Works
Riders must be 60 years old and can self transport from their home into and out of vehicles.
All riders must read the Senior Rider Guidelines, complete a NEET Registration Form and sign and return the Senior Waiver before a ride can be scheduled. Download the Rider Registration Packet for complete information and forms. Seniors can also call their local Council on Aging for a copy of these forms.
Transportation arrangements must be made through the local Council on Aging.
When requesting assistance, you must provide complete destination details including address, phone number and length of appointment.
All riders must wear seat belts and volunteers are unable to drive elders from appointments that include sedation.
Transportation is not guaranteed and NEET reserves the right to refuse any senior who does not follow the current Senior Rider Guidelines.
