Transportation Services

If you are medically unable to use a car, bus, train or taxi, the Alliance will arrange transportation for you. This type of transportation is called non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT).

NEMT is for when you need extra help or special transportation needs. Examples of NEMT are an ambulance, wheelchair van or air transport.

Transportation to medical services by passenger car, taxicab or other forms of public or private transportation is called non-medical transportation (NMT). NMT is available to members who need help getting to medical services. Members must show that they do not have any other transportation options.

Stress Busters: Supportive Relationships

Our Outreach Program eliminates transportation as a barrier to care for underserved Santa Cruz County residents at many venues, including schools, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and our one-chair Outreach Clinic at Housing Matters in Santa Cruz. Our partnerships provide patients who might not otherwise get access to dental services to the treatment they need. At our outreach sites, our staff delivers oral health evaluations including x-rays, and procedures such as cleanings and fluoride varnish. Those patients who require more complex care are referred back to our clinic. Dientes provides oral health education and preventive services in six school districts (Pajaro Valley Unified, Live Oak, San Lorenzo Valley, Soquel Unified, Santa Cruz City & Santa Cruz County Office of Education) at 30+ schools. The program has been a huge success since its inception in 2009.
