People
For People serves communities in six counties by arranging
transportation for people of all ages who have current Washington State
Department of Social and Health Services Medicaid coupons and need
transportation to non-emergency medical services. Verification for proper
eligibility is confirmed and then the most cost-effective, appropriate
transportation is coordinated.
A primary goal of these services is to assist clients with vouchers for
gasoline or mileage reimbursement if they have their own transportation
resources. If that is not possible, transportation is arranged using contracted
providers such as local transit and paratransit providers, volunteer drivers,
nonprofit providers, cabulance and taxi companies.
People For People ensures that the lowest cost, most
appropriate ride is arranged for the client. Trips may be shared with other
riders.
Call Center Office Hours:
Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. excluding weekends and all major
