- For eligible members, NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid covers medically necessary non-emergency transportation. DDD funds transportation for eligible individuals with developmental disabilities.
- How far in advance should I book a ride?
- Recurring routes are set up in advance; individual non-emergency trips are typically booked ahead. Contact us for current scheduling windows.
