Before you schedule a ride check to see if friends or family can give you a ride. Also check to see if you and your provider are located on bus lines. If so, take public transit.
If neither of those options are possible, please do the following:
- Call 1-877-312-6571 or email MATransport2@howardcountymd.gov – Monday-Friday 8:00am - 4:30pm (except holidays) Phones are closed between the hours of 12:00pm and 1:00pm.
- 48 business hours before your appointment time call 1-877-312-6571 to schedule transportation. For surgery appointments call at least 48 to 72 business hours in advance.
- You will need your Medical Assistance or Social Security number, date, time, address, and telephone number of provider, when calling to schedule any transportation requests.
