Who We Are
New Freedom, a program of Bay Aging, is a transportation service providing seniors and individuals with disabilities the ability to attend medical appointments, shop, work, and attend social and recreational events even for travel outside of Bay Transit’s service area and/or service hours. Participants pay a nominal fee for each round trip. For round trips of fifty miles or less, there is a five-dollar fare. For round trip journeys greater than fifty miles the fare is only ten dollars.
A partnership with the MedCarry Volunteer Transportation program supplements New Freedom to help address additional demand. Individuals of any age with disabilities qualify to participate in New Freedom whether they have a short-term disability such as a broken leg or they are rehabilitating after surgery. Individuals with long-term disabilities, mental health disabilities, mobility issues, or chronic health issues are also eligible to participate. Many trips made by NewFreedom are outside of Bay Transit’s service area to typical destinations such as the VA Medical Centers in Richmond and Hampton, regional hospitals in Newport News, and for medical services in Fredericksburg, Richmond, Williamsburg, and Norfolk.
