New Vendor Annex Transit
The Town of Sudbury is delighted to share that they have signed a contract with Annex Transit. Annex is a service-oriented company offering specialized non-emergency medical transport services. It is licensed and insured for Wheelchair, Non-Emergency Medical and Ambulatory transportation services in Massachusetts.
Starting May 1, 2023, the Town will start using Annex services to expand Go Sudbury! Taxi with medical rides that are declined by current Taxi Companies due to the high demand of rides. In addition, Annex will provide rides for other purposes to Go Sudbury! participants who are unable to access Uber services due to: physical, sensory, or cognitive disability, or other limitations that may prevent them from accessing the Uber services.
Who May Use Annex for Non-Medical Rides?
Persons with a physical, sensory, or cognitive disability, or other limitations that may prevent them from accessing the Uber services are eligible to apply to use Annex Transit. Please contact Ana Cristina Oliveira at 978-639-3268 or oliveiraa@sudbury.ma.us to apply.
Where Can I Go and What Will I Pay?
The service area covers a circle 25 miles around Sudbury. All rides must begin or end in Sudbury. Service is provided to the Logan Express Shuttle in Framingham, but not to Logan Airport. There is a limit of 10 one-way rides per month. There is currently no copay, though this could change.
