Our Transportation ServicesOur Transportation Program arranges, provides and monitors utilization of countywide transportation for adults with psychiatric disabilities who are eligible for Community Support Services (CSS). Is It For MeAdults with serious mental illness who meet the eligibility criteria of the Community Support Program and are members of the Sterling Club can access transportation from their homes to the Sterling Club. If you meet the CSS eligibility criteria, and are unable to access Medicaid transportation, you may be able to arrange time-limited transportation services with us to see your therapist or attend another vocational or mental health service in Westchester County. If you are a consumer of Westchester Jewish Community Services’ (WJCS) Geriatric Continuing Day Treatment Program, you may be eligible for transportation to and from the program. For more information regarding eligibility for this transportation please call the WJCS Program Director at 914-946-6220.
