What is the Medical Assistance Transportation
Program?

The Medical Assistance Transportation Program, also known as
MATP, provides transportation to medical appointments for Medical Assistance
recipients who do not have transportation available to them. The individual’s
county of residence will provide the type of transportation that is the least
expensive while still meeting their needs.

Access MATP services

Contact your
local MATP provider.

A one-time MATP application must be completed and signed.

The MATP provider will give you information about how to
schedule transportation, use the local program and about your
rights.

Fixed Route Public
Transportation
Where public transit is available, county MATPs
provide tokens, passes, scrip or reimbursement to eligible consumers to
cover the fare for public or private transit services.

Where appropriate, the county
MATP may reimburse consumers who have access to private vehicles (their
own or another individual’s) but cannot meet their own transportation
needs. This reimbursement will be at a specified rate per mile for travel
expenses plus parking and tolls. The rate of reimbursement shall be
determined by the county, but shall not be less than $.25 per mile.

Where public transit is not
available or is not appropriate for the rider, county MATPs provide rides
on paratransit vehicles including vans, lift equipped vans and taxis.
Usually the vehicle will be transporting multiple riders with different
pick-up an drop-off locations.
