Veiner Vintage Transport
Run by volunteers, Unison is able to take seniors where they need to go. Veiner Vintage Transport remains committed to empowering older adults to maintain their independence and age in place by providing them with a reliable means of transportation. By addressing transportation barriers and ensuring access to essential services, our program contributes to an overall improvement in the quality of life for seniors in rural Alberta.

About the Program
Who can access the program?
Older adults (50+) who are unable to drive themselves and have limited or no access to other transportation options. The service provides round-trip transportation (pick-up and return).
How does it work?
We provide door-to-door assisted transportation for older adults in Medicine Hat and surrounding rural areas. Coordinated by our Transportation Facilitator, the program is supported by dedicated volunteer drivers. Clients can purchase individual ride passes or 10-ride punch cards. For each trip, a pass is provided, or the punch card is initialed — no money is exchanged with volunteers. Transportation is available for medical and legal appointments, banking, and activities at the Veiner & Strathcona Centre. Bookings are based on volunteer availability, and we recommend a 1 week notice whenever possible.
How much does it cost?
We currently offer a sliding scale subsidy for our Veiner Vintage Transportation program. Rides are provided at a subsidized rate of $5 per round-trip for individuals with a single income of $30,000 or less, or a household income of $44,000 or less. For those with incomes above these thresholds, rides are available at $10 per round-trip.
