One of the most serious problems facing a community is the concerns of providing adequate non-emergency medical transportation. Thousands of citizens in need of medical care and opportunities to access other community resources are in situations where they have no available or affordable transportation options. Many of these individuals are on fixed incomes and have for some reasons fallen through the social safety net.

Even though STS has entered into a collaborative agreements with nearly twenty different social services agencies to provide transportation, there exist nuymerous individuals who face making the decisions concerning whether or not they go to medical appointments, purchase prescriptions, or pay for transportation necessary to get to appointments.

STS has since 1994 provided transportation to hundreds facing these situations. STS has fortunately been able to assist many of these under or un-served individuals through the assistance to the United Way of Yuma County.
