Ashford Insurance has compiled a small list of a few sources that can provide transportation assistance. We have included internet links and phone numbers to help you get in touch with these transportation providers. We do not endorse any of these providers but just wanted to get a handy list out to the seniors who may need assistance:
Catholic Charities’ Transportation Program
NETS
The Northeast Transportation Service (NETS) offers door-to-door transportation services to residents of Bedford, North Richland Hills, Keller, Grapevine, Hurst, Haltom City, and Euless who are disabled or 55 or older.

Texas Medicaid & CHIP Transportation Services
The Texas Department of State Health Services provides rides to those without transportation and on Medicaid or in the Children with Special Health Care Needs. Covered trips include rides to the doctor’s office, dentist, hospital, drug store, or any place that provides medical services covered under Medicaid. You must call MTP at least two business days before the day you need the ride. Clients in most of Texas can call MTP at 1-877-MED-TRIP (1-877-633-8747). This is a free call-in Texas. Clients in the Dallas/Fort Worth Service Delivery Area (SDA) should call LogistiCare at 1-855-687-3255 Toll-Free to arrange services.
