Ready Ride – Ages 18 – 64 – MA Coverage
About the Program
West Central Minnesota Communities Action, in partnership with PrimeWest, is able to offer our Ready Ride Volunteer Driver Program to adults aged 18 – 64, who have current Medical Assistance coverage. Ready Ride is available to residents in Douglas, Grant, Pope, Stevens and Traverse counties.
Key Points
- Rides can range from short trips to longer trips for various medical appointments, to pick up medications or grocery shopping
- Riders must reside in our 5 – county service area: Douglas, Grant, Pope, Stevens & Traverse
- Rides must originate within 5 – county service area: Douglas, Grant, Pope, Stevens & Traverse
- Rides may go outside of the 5 – county service area for appointments
- Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to provide the rides
- Scheduling rides should be done a week in advance which allows time to find a volunteer driver
- Guidelines, in response to COVID-19, are included for both volunteer drivers and riders
