School Health-Related Non-Emergency Transportation (NET) Requests
Requests for transportation should be made by the provider. If a child has a service listed on their Individualized Education Plan (IEP), or Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) and needs transportation to get to and/or from the medical appointment, it is the provider’s responsibility to arrange this. Providers should see the Transportation Broker List (PDF) and locate your town to see which broker to call.
