Transportation Assistance for Single Mothers in Maine

Last updated: September 2025


This Maine‑specific guide gives you practical, step‑by‑step ways to get rides for medical care, work, school, child care, groceries, and emergencies. You’ll find numbers to call, forms to use, and backup plans when funding is tight. Every program and agency mentioned is linked so you can act fast.

—

If You Only Do 3 Things – Emergency Actions to Take

  • Call the MaineCare ride broker that serves your county to request a medical ride or mileage reimbursement, even for same‑day urgent visits; start with MaineCare Member Services at 1‑800‑977‑6740 and use the official broker list to find the correct number for your town via the state’s Non‑Emergency Transportation page, the Transportation Broker List PDF, and the latest MaineCare transportation update confirming service continuity with Modivcare. (www1.maine.gov)
  • If you are not on MaineCare and need a ride this week, contact your region’s public transit provider through MaineDOT’s transit options directory, check GO MAINE rideshare/vanpool options, and ask your Community Action Agency about demand‑response rides or volunteer driver programs. Use the MaineDOT Transit Options page, the GO MAINE program site, and your CAA’s transportation page to request service. (maine.gov)
  • If you can’t afford gas or fares today, apply for short‑term help through municipal General Assistance; call your town office or the statewide GA hotline at 1‑800‑442‑6003, and ask about travel vouchers and urgent appointment rides. Start with the DHHS GA program page, the GA administrators contact info, and the MPUC consumer assistance page that also points to GA when basic needs are at risk. (maine.gov)

Quick Help Box — Keep These 5 at Hand

  • MaineCare Member Services: 1‑800‑977‑6740 — use the DHHS Non‑Emergency Transportation page, the Transportation Q&A, and the MaineCare transportation update to schedule or confirm rides. (www1.maine.gov)
  • General Assistance Hotline: 1‑800‑442‑6003 — the DHHS GA program page, the GA administrators guidance, and town GA pages explain emergency transportation help. (maine.gov)
  • GO MAINE rideshare/vanpool + Emergency Ride Home: 1‑800‑280‑RIDE — learn how to match carpools, find park‑and‑ride lots, and redeem Emergency Ride Home benefits. See GO MAINE’s home page, About page, and Park & Ride directory. (gomaine.org)
  • Greater Portland METRO rider support: 207‑774‑0351 — check METRO fare information, reduced fare rules, and service updates to keep trips affordable. (gpmetro.org)

How to Get a Ride to Medical Care in Maine This Week

The fastest path depends on whether you or your child have MaineCare (Medicaid). Start with the step that matches your situation.

If You Have MaineCare (Medicaid)

  • Call the transportation broker for your county: You must schedule at least two business days before your appointment; urgent visits can still be approved. Use the state’s Non‑Emergency Transportation page, the Transportation Broker List PDF, and the MaineCare transportation Q&A to confirm steps. (www1.maine.gov)
  • Service continuity note: MaineCare recently confirmed that Modivcare services continue as usual despite its bankruptcy filing; keep using the same numbers and processes. Read the MaineCare transportation update, check the Modivcare Maine facility page for regional numbers, and keep the DHHS Member Services line handy. (maine.gov)
  • Know your broker’s contact: MidCoast Connector (Waldo, Knox, Lincoln, Sagadahoc, plus Brunswick/Harpswell) is 1‑855‑930‑7900; Penquis CAP handles Kennebec/Somerset and Penobscot/Piscataquis; Modivcare serves Aroostook, Washington, York, much of Cumberland, and other listed towns. See MidCoast Connector’s MaineCare page, Penquis Transportation’s MaineCare page with phone lines, and the Modivcare Maine pages for regional numbers. (waldocap.org)
  • Mileage reimbursement: If you drive yourself or a friend/family member drives, you can request mileage reimbursement from your broker; check forms and current rates directly. Use Penquis reimbursement forms, MidCoast Connector self‑drive forms, and DHHS transportation Q&A for the steps and timelines. (penquis.org)
  • School‑based therapy rides: For IEP/IFSP services, the provider handles requests with the broker; parents can ask the school admin for help. See DHHS guidance for school health‑related NET and the Transportation Broker List again. (www1.maine.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: Ask your clinic’s care coordinator to call your broker, call MaineCare Member Services at 1‑800‑977‑6740, and request an urgent ride review; if a ride still fails, file a broker complaint and explore a same‑day transit or volunteer ride. Use the DHHS transportation Q&A, your broker’s complaint line on Penquis’ and Modivcare’s pages, and MaineDOT’s transit options map to find a backup ride. (www1.maine.gov)

If You Do Not Have MaineCare

  • Public transit/demand‑response: Look up rides in your region (fixed routes, door‑to‑door, or volunteer driver networks). Start with MaineDOT’s transit options directory, then check your local provider’s fares and scheduling rules (examples include Greater Portland METRO, Bangor Community Connector, and Regional Transportation Program/RTP in Cumberland County). (maine.gov)
  • Volunteer drivers and mileage help: Some Community Action Agencies coordinate low‑ or no‑cost rides or small mileage reimbursements even beyond MaineCare. Review Penquis Lynx general public rides, York County Community Action “Wave” routes, and Aroostook Regional Transportation System for door‑to‑door services. (penquis.org)
  • Cancer treatment rides: Ask your oncology navigator about hospital vouchers or Maine Cancer Foundation‑supported partners; Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness also supports travel for Wabanaki cancer patients. Combine that with the American Cancer Society’s Road To Recovery program if volunteer drivers are available in your area. See Maine Cancer Foundation’s Wabanaki grant summary, WPHW contacts, and your hospital’s social work team page. (mainecancer.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work: Apply for municipal General Assistance for urgent transportation, ask the clinic for a taxi voucher or telehealth option, and check GO MAINE for a carpool volunteer within your town. Use DHHS GA program info, your town GA page, and GO MAINE’s ride‑match portal. (maine.gov)

TANF, ASPIRE, and Transitional Transportation: Help to Keep a Job

Start here: If you receive TANF, your ASPIRE case can cover work supports like gas money, car repairs, and insurance while you work or train. The TANF program page describes ASPIRE supports, lists how to apply via My Maine Connection, and provides the OFI call center. (maine.gov)

  • Transitional Transportation (TT) after TANF: When your cash grant ends and you start working, TT can help with transportation costs for a period of time; DHHS updated TT rules in January 2025 so mileage reimbursement follows the State Controller’s rate and capped daily reimbursement at $20. Use the TANF program page, the adopted mileage reimbursement update (effective Jan 13, 2025), and the proposed rule notice that preceded it for historical detail. Always verify the current per‑mile rate on the Controller’s site, as rates can change during the year. (maine.gov)
  • ASPIRE orientation and planning: DHHS partners with Fedcap to create a Family Contract/plan; supports may include child care, gas, repairs, and school fees. Learn about ASPIRE supports on the TANF program page, check Employment Assistance for the statewide overview, and keep My Maine Connection for updates. (maine.gov)
  • CSSP scholarships: Maine’s Competitive Skills Scholarship Program provides tuition plus supports such as child care and transportation for training in high‑wage, in‑demand fields. Apply during open periods and ask your local CareerCenter for help with the online application. See the CSSP program page, the Maine Jobs & Recovery CSSP description, and CareerCenter locations. (maine.gov)

Timeline expectations: Allow several business days for ASPIRE support approvals and 10–15 business days for mileage reimbursements to arrive after you submit complete logs; actual timing depends on caseloads and your documentation. Call to confirm current processing times via the TANF page and your assigned Fedcap contact, and keep copies of every receipt, log, and email. (maine.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If a car repair or insurance payment is denied, request a supervisory review, ask about TT eligibility, and apply for General Assistance as a one‑time bridge for transportation to maintain employment. Use the TANF program details, the TT rule update page, and DHHS GA rules. (maine.gov)

(nnepra.com)

Step‑by‑Step: Schedule a MaineCare Ride Today

What to do if this doesn’t work: If lines are busy, submit a web form where available, try again early morning, and call your provider to verify urgency so the broker can process a same‑day ride. If a scheduled driver no‑shows, ask the broker for a backup provider, and notify MaineCare Member Services. Use the DHHS transportation Q&A and the MaineCare update on Modivcare for status. (www1.maine.gov)

Work and School Transportation That Actually Fits a Parent Schedule

  • TANF/ASPIRE add‑ons: Ask your case manager to add gas money, car repairs, or insurance to your Family Contract and keep receipts. Confirm details on the TANF/ASPIRE page, use My Maine Connection for updates, and keep the OFI call center number nearby. (maine.gov)
  • Transitional Transportation (TT): If your TANF case recently closed due to earnings, ask for TT; as of January 2025, mileage rates follow the State Controller’s rate and daily reimbursement is capped at $20. Review the final rule update and stay current via the Controller’s mileage page. (maine.gov)
  • Training scholarships: Apply to CSSP for tuition plus transportation; get help from your local CareerCenter and watch the Jobs & Recovery Plan CSSP page for application windows. (maine.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If supports are delayed, ask for a supervisor review, request an interim bus pass, and apply for municipal General Assistance to keep your job. Then set up a backup using GO MAINE and your local transit system’s reduced fare options. (maine.gov)

Region‑by‑Region: Where to Find Rides Near You

Each paragraph below includes 3–5 direct links so you can click and act.

Southern Maine (Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport, Brunswick, Bath)

Start with Greater Portland METRO fare info for caps that keep costs predictable, review Reduced Fare rules for seniors, youth, disabled, SSI/SSDI, and veterans, and check the status of the South Portland merger with METRO to understand route alignment. Add BSOOB Transit fares for cross‑county trips and use RTP for demand‑response rides in Cumberland County. (gpmetro.org)

Bangor Area (Bangor, Brewer, Orono, Old Town, Hampden)

Check Community Connector fares and see the Half Cash Fare program for seniors and riders with disabilities; call 207‑992‑4670 with questions. For demand‑response rides in the wider area, explore Penquis Lynx, and review recent news of Lynx schedule expansion to plan weekday trips. (bangormaine.gov)

Midcoast (Waldo, Knox, Lincoln, Sagadahoc; Brunswick/Harpswell)

Use MidCoast Connector (Waldo CAP) MaineCare for medical rides, confirm fixed‑route options through METRO BREEZ fare caps for Portland‑Freeport‑Brunswick/Bath trips, and check BSOOB Transit if you’re commuting toward Scarborough/Maine Mall. When in doubt, the MaineDOT transit options directory lists providers by county. (waldocap.org)

For year‑round trips, call Downeast Transportation at 207‑667‑5796; in summer, Island Explorer adds fare‑free routes around Acadia. For long connections to Bangor or Portland, check West Transportation schedules. Washington County MaineCare rides are handled by Modivcare at 1‑855‑608‑5176. (downeasttrans.org)

Western Maine (Androscoggin, Franklin, Oxford)

Watch for service adjustments by Western Maine Transportation Services (WMTS), use citylink/WMTS for Lewiston‑Auburn trips, and try GO MAINE to carpool from rural towns. For seasonal needs around Sugarloaf, check the Sugarloaf Explorer. (wmtw.com)

Diverse Communities: Tailored Transportation Tips and Contacts

LGBTQ+ single mothers: Ask your local CareerCenter about job‑training supports that include transportation, check GO MAINE for safe carpool matches, and use MaineDOT transit options to choose routes with shorter waits. If you face discrimination in transit, use METRO’s Title VI complaint process and MaineDOT’s ADA/Civil Rights page to report it. (maine.gov)

Single mothers with disabilities or disabled children: Ask brokers about wheelchair‑equipped vehicles through MaineCare NET, file reduced fare applications for buses, and consider Alpha One’s Transportation Assistance Loan Program for accessible vehicle financing. Amtrak provides enhanced Downeaster disability discounts on the Boston–Brunswick route; confirm eligibility and documentation. (www1.maine.gov)

Veteran single mothers: Use VA Beneficiary Travel to get reimbursed for VA care travel; Togus VA’s travel office can help you enroll in BTSSS and submit claims quickly. Keep the VA Maine travel contact handy and reach out to the Bureau of Maine Veterans’ Services for caregiver supports (including Fisher House lodging during treatment). (va.gov)

Immigrant/refugee single moms: Apply for General Assistance in your town for emergency transportation, check CareerCenters for ESOL and job‑training supports with bus passes, and use GO MAINE to find carpools that fit early/late shifts. For medical trips, see MaineCare transportation; request an interpreter if needed. (maine.gov)

Tribal‑specific resources: Wabanaki families can contact Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness for help navigating travel to treatment, look at Maine Cancer Foundation’s Wabanaki travel grant for support, and coordinate with MaineDOT Public Transit for provider contacts in rural tribal areas. Ask your clinic to work with Modivcare on eligibility for MaineCare rides. (wabanakiphw.org)

Rural single moms with limited access: Consider GO MAINE vanpools with neighbors to reach mills, hospitals, or schools; use park‑and‑ride lots to make trips shorter; and ask your Community Action Agency about volunteer driver programs. For medical trips from Aroostook or Washington counties, coordinate with ARTS or Downeast Transportation. (gomaine.org)

Single fathers: Every program in this guide is gender‑neutral. Use DHHS TANF/ASPIRE for work supports, General Assistance for urgent rides, and CareerCenters for CSSP and bus pass help. Add GO MAINE to set up carpools to child care drop‑off sites. (maine.gov)

Language access and accessibility: Request interpreters and large‑print applications when you call MaineCare transportation or your local transit provider; TTY users can dial 711 for DHHS offices, and providers like ARTS list accessibility policies. (www1.maine.gov)

How to Stop Utility Shutoff in Maine Today

If you need electricity to power a phone for telehealth, to schedule rides, or to charge a vehicle, stop disconnections first.

  • Call your utility and request a payment arrangement: Ask about the Arrearage Management Program (AMP) and LIAP electric discounts. The Office of the Public Advocate’s low‑income resources page, the MPUC consumer page, and your local CAA can help with applications. (maine.gov)
  • Use General Assistance for immediate needs: Municipal GA can issue vouchers to prevent shutoff or to pay for emergency fuel and transportation to essential services. Keep the statewide GA hotline at 1‑800‑442‑6003 and the DHHS GA page handy. (maine.gov)
  • Dial 2‑1‑1 for referrals: 211 can connect you to energy and transportation help in your town, including volunteer drivers and local trusts. Use 211’s aging/disability page, the general 211 “about” page, and the AccessMaine contact page listing 211 options. (211maine.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work: File a utility complaint with the MPUC consumer assistance team, apply for LIHEAP through your CAA, and ask your provider for a social worker referral to transportation funds tied to healthcare access. Use the MPUC consumer page, your CAA directory via MaineDOT Transit, and your hospital’s patient assistance page. (maine.gov)

County‑Specific Variations You Should Know

“Reality Check” Boxes

Reality Check: Funding cycles change. A driver shortage or budget gap can reduce availability with little warning. Re‑check your provider’s site (e.g., METRO fares/alerts), scan the MaineDOT Transit Options page every few weeks, and keep GO MAINE as your standing backup. (gpmetro.org)

Reality Check: Rules move. TANF mileage rules changed in January 2025; South Portland finalized merger with METRO; WMTS adjusted routes in 2025. Before you spend on a monthly pass, confirm on the TANF rule page, merger coverage, and WMTS news. (maine.gov)

Reality Check: MaineCare transportation continues. Despite Modivcare’s bankruptcy, DHHS confirms no change to booking numbers or processes; check the official update and the DHHS NET page before appointments. (maine.gov)

FAQs (Maine‑Specific)

  1. How soon should I request a MaineCare ride: Call at least two business days before your appointment; urgent visits can still be approved. Use the DHHS Non‑Emergency Transportation page, the broker list PDF, and keep Member Services at 1‑800‑977‑6740. (www1.maine.gov)
