Several successful models can serve as examples for integrating health and transportation services:
- Medicaid Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT): This program provides transportation for Medicaid beneficiaries to and from medical appointments. It's a long-standing example of how integrating transportation can improve access to healthcare.
- Community-Based Programs: Some communities have developed local programs that provide transportation specifically for pediatric healthcare needs. These programs often involve partnerships between healthcare providers, local government, and transportation services.
- School-Based Health Centers: These centers provide healthcare services on school grounds, significantly reducing transportation barriers for students.
