Transportation

Mary Wade offers a fleet of handicapped accessible vans to service our older adults in need of transportation within the Greater New Haven area.  Our professional drivers are friendly and courteous and focused on the safety and security of our clients.  Drivers are fully licensed and trained in medical emergencies.

The Transportation program provides door-to-door service Monday through Friday for individuals age 60 and older residing in New Haven, East Haven, West Haven, North Haven and Hamden. This program is free of charge but collects voluntary donations to support the program. Riders for this program cannot be eligible for Medicaid.

To schedule a ride, call (203) 672-7837 or fax your request at (203) 773-6995.  Reservations are scheduled 2 weeks in advance – a minimum of 72 hours is required. 

Hours of operation:

8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Monday – Friday

9:00 a.m – 2:00 p.m. Saturday – Sunday

The Mary Wade Transportation program is funded in part through grants from the Agency on Aging of South Central Connecticut, the City of New Haven Community Development Block Grant, and the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation.   For more information, see The Title VI Notice to the Public, Complaint Form, Complaint Procedure.
