The Western Montana Area 6 Agency on Aging’s Western Montana Transit program provides rides to medical appointments, shopping, and social activities. Our vans are driven by qualified volunteers or staff, and are available for transportation within Lake County and, with 48 hours’ notice, to Missoula and Kalispell.

Many of our passengers are Medicaid Eligible, and the majority of our trips are to provide transportation to medical appointments. This program enables community members to access safe, reliable, and affordable transportation to medical appointments and maintain their health and well-being. Lack of transportation is often a serious obstacle for those who no longer drive, or those without their own transportation, when it comes to accessing the medical services they need. This is especially true in areas without many public transportation options. Transportation services, especially in rural communities such as ours, are crucial in allowing everyone to live healthier, more fulfilling lives, regardless of age, ability, or income.

We do require 24 hours minimum notice for local rides, and 48 hours notice for rides to Missoula or Kalispell. Our rides are scheduled on a first-come first-serve basis.
