Effective June 1, 2021, the Managed Transportation Organization (MTO) Program at Amistad will transition over to Access2Care. Amistad will no longer provide the following services:
- Mass Transit Tickets
- Individual Transportation Participant (ITP)
- Meals and Lodging
- Advanced Funds
- Out-of-state Travel
- Attendant Services

Under the MTO Program, Amistad arranged cost-effective non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services for eligible Medicaid clients, Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN), and Transportation for Indigent Cancer Patients (TICP), who met the program’s financial and residential eligibility criteria and who had no other means of transportation. All other transportation programs, including the Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities (5310), as well as referral contracts with other agencies, will not be affected and will continue to operate accordingly.
To schedule an appointment, persons with a medicaid health plan will need to contact their health plan directly. Persons without a medicaid health plan will need to call 877-633-8747 to schedule their trips.
