Transportation
If you are 60+ years old and live in one of the communities listed below, contact your local Council on Aging to see if you are eligible for the NEET program.
The NEET program works with the Councils on Aging (COA) to provide curb-to-curb, non-lift transportation services for the following 13 communities in the lower Merrimack Valley in Massachusetts.​
If your community is not listed here, call your local Council on Aging or 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 Rider Guidelines, complete a NEET Registration Form
and sign and return the Rider Waiver before a ride can be scheduled.
Riders 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 riders from appointments that include sedation.
Transportation is not guaranteed and NEET reserves the right to refuse any rider who does not follow the current Rider Guidelines.
