Martha’s Vineyard Transportation Access Program 2023/2024
About the Transportation Access Program:
The Transportation Access Program assists Island residents and families with excessive costs of off-Island travel due to long-term illness and health/mental health needs requiring services not available on the Island.
The Transportation Access Program began in 2016, and since then has helped over 400 Island families with off-Island travel expenses.
All Martha’s Vineyard residents are eligible to apply for up to $750.00 annually in off-island travel assistance to medical/mental health appointments. Requests over $750.00 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Dear Island Residents,
We are thrilled to announce the full resumption of the Transportation Access Program, providing essential financial assistance for off-island medical appointments. Thanks to the generous donation from the MV Community Foundation, we are able to continue supporting island residents in accessing vital healthcare services without the burden of financial barriers.
If you have an upcoming off-island medical appointment and require financial assistance for transportation costs, please contact our office to inquire about our program and eligibility criteria.
You can also download the TAP applications directly from our website and email them to tap.info@mvcommunityservices.org
Please note that assistance is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, and is available until funds have been depleted. Financial reimbursement options for past medical appointments, as well as SSA and Shell Gas gift cards for future medical appointments are available through the Transportation Access Program.
We encourage you to reach out as soon as possible to secure assistance for your medical appointments
Healthcare should be accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances. Please help us spread the word about the resumption of our Transportation Access Program with generous support from the MV Community Foundation so that every island resident knows about the financial assistance available for off-island medical appointments.
Thank you for your continued support, as we remain committed to improving healthcare access for all island residents.
For any further questions, please call 508-693-7900 ext 406.
