Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


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 holidays.
