Your Child Has A Doctor’s Appointment And Your Car Won’t Work

The Federal Transit Administration provides over $50 million a year to over 1,000 local organizations to provide free non-emergency transportation for people who are old or have a disability. But the groups who get this federal money can also provide free transportation services to moms who are in a jam. The regulations state that the vehicles can also be used to ‘serve the transportation needs of the general public on an incidental basis. You may have to do some educating to get a local group to give you a ride. Tell them to view the information on the website or contact the FTA. It’s available from the U.S. Federal Transit Administration, 400 7th Street SW, Washington, DC 20590 or on the web at www.fta.dot.gov/legal/federal_register/2004/16290_17856_ENG_HTML.htm.
