Your health matters, and GMT is here to help!
GMT operates a number of programs to assist Vermonters with access to medical trips, pharmacy visits, treatment centers, and other daily needs. Please see options below and contact GMT to learn more about eligibility and options in your area!
GMT offers direct non-emergency critical care transportation for those who qualify. Critical care needs include ongoing radiation and dialysis treatments. Enrollment is limited, with services based on available funds.
GMT offers special transportation services through our Older Adults and Persons with Disabilities (O&D) Transportation Program for individuals within GMT service regions who are 60 years of age or older and/or individuals with disabilities. The O&D Program provides transportation for non-Medicaid medical appointments and food procurement. These services are made possible through the State of Vermont grant. GMT works with human service agency partners to coordinate O&D trips, including Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) provided through Medicaid, contracted services with community organizations and institutions, and transportation for the general public.
Enrollment is limited, with services based on available funds. This service supplements the regular transit service in the area, filling in gaps left by other transportation programs. Drivers can be paid or volunteers, and depending on the rider’s needs, drive a variety of vehicles, from a transit bus with wheelchair access to a regular car.
Effective July 1st, Tri-Valley Transit (TVT), a trusted and experienced transportation service
provider, will take over Medicaid Transportation for Washington and parts of Orange County
where Green Mountain Transit (GMT) was the service provider.
Rest assured, your Medicaid transportation services will continue without any interruption. The
drivers and vehicles you are familiar with will remain the same. TVT will uphold all Medicaid
performance standards, ensuring high-quality customer service, safety, and timeliness. Any
current exceptions on file will be transferred to TVT. You can begin scheduling your rides with
TVT from July 1st, Monday through Friday, 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM, at (802)223-7287. Until June
30th, please continue to book your rides through Green Mountain Transit (GMT). Any ride
requests after June 30th will be directed to TVT.
This transition to TVT brings added benefits for you, our Medicaid members, and the broader
community. By merging your area’s transportation services under TVT, we can offer more
streamlined services, enhance coordination with other programs, and achieve greater cost
efficiency. This change is designed to improve your experience and the overall quality of our
services.
We understand that changes can be challenging, and your service delivery mode may change as
well. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Our goal is to
create more options for Washington County residents by using TVT as their transportation
provider and coordinating services. We look forward to serving you in the months to come.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact TVT at (802)388-2287
or visit their website at trivalleytransit.org.
