Arranged through the Stagecoach, Ticket to Ride helps pay up to 80% of the cost of rides for senior citizens (60+) and persons with disabilities when there is not available transportation in the household or the person requesting the trips is unable to drive on the day of the trip. Ticket to Ride is available for a broad array of destinations, such as medical services, shopping, errands, and social purposes. The person receiving the ride will be requested to pay 20% of the cost of the trip.

On an annual cycle, between July 1st and June 30th, an individual can receive up to $425 worth of rides; $625 for a two-person household; and $850 for a person transported in a wheelchair. Transportation provided for people under the category of critical care, which is intended for dialysis and cancer treatment related travel, is limited to ten rides per month for dialysis and 15 rides per month for cancer treatment. All transportation provided through Ticket to Ride is conditional upon the availability of funds in the program.

Ticket to Ride will not pay for rides to airports, train / bus stations, or out of state locations, except Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH or shopping in West Lebanon, NH.

If you would like a ride that is not eligible for payment through Medicaid or Ticket to Ride funding, you may still have Stagecoach arrange the trip. Prior to delivery of the trip, Stagecoach will request an advance payment.
