Illinois NEMT

Transportation · Illinois · Free

Non-emergency medical transportation for Illinois Medicaid recipients via state Medicaid. Built for older adults who've stopped driving or can't safely manage it, and family caregivers coordinating doctor visits. Reduced-fare transit passes are available at city transit offices with proof of age (usually 65+) and ID. Transportation is the #1 reason seniors miss medical appointments; it's also a leading reason for social isolation. All services free of charge to qualifying seniors and family caregivers.
