If you are a resident of Petawawa within the geographic boundaries of the municipality, have a disability, live on a low income, are a senior or vulnerable sector individual, and need access to transportation, you can register with Carefor to use the Ministry of Transportation Community Transportation Program.  This program is provided thanks to a partnership with the Ministry of Transportation, Carefor, and the Town of Petawawa.  The program provides a dedicated accessible vehicle with a door-to-door delivery service for eligible Petawawa residents to meet their non-urgent medical needs.  Call Carefor at 613-732-9993 ext. 3234

What is the fee for this transportation?

The cost of this service is $5.00 each way, per eligible user, within the Petawawa municipal boundaries.  A service is a door-to-door option in that the driver will collect you at your residence, take you to the appointment location and then return you back to the residence following the appointment.  The fee is payable to the driver at the time of collection.
