MDS Transportation
Because of the serious shortage of transportation in our region, MDS has developed a transportation system that serves more than 100 people every day (M-F), on a very tightly managed schedule. MDS Transportation operates daily (M-F) with five demand response routes, using five vans (three mini-vans, two wheelchair vans).
Drivers transport supported individuals to and from their day programs, places of employment, and to other appointments. For the most part, the drivers for each route remain the same each day so that our clients can have a friendly and familiar travel experience.
These MDS vehicles are also made available for those individuals requiring transportation after regular business hours and/or on weekends. All driving is by MDS employees.
