Transportation Voucher Program

General Information

The Connect Douglas Transportation Voucher Program is designed to assist seniors and people with disabilities in meeting their transportation needs. Eligible participants use assigned vouchers to pay for trips from partnering private Transportation Providers that operate like a taxi service. Vouchers can be used to travel in and outside of Douglas County to destinations around Metro-Atlanta.

Participating seniors (age 65+)  receive $100 in vouchers per month at a cost of $10 per month. 

Participating individuals with a disability receive $200 in vouchers per month at a cost of $20 per month.
