Grant Overview

Indiana's target outcome centers on reducing missed medical appointments among adults aged 75 and older in counties outside the Indianapolis metropolitan area. Indiana State Department of Health data indicate that 22 percent of Medicare beneficiaries in rural counties report transportation as the main reason for canceled visits, compared with 9 percent in Marion County. This outcome matters because delayed care contributes to higher rates of preventable hospitalizations documented in the same reports.

Counties such as Jay, Blackford, and Switzerland contain fewer than two primary care physicians per 10,000 residents, forcing seniors to travel 30 miles or more for routine appointments. Volunteer driver programs must therefore account for long-distance routes on roads that lack shoulders and experience seasonal flooding. Recent graduates developing these programs frequently overlook the need for vehicle insurance riders that cover passengers traveling across county lines.

Implementation requires coordination with Area Agencies on Aging that already maintain rider registries. Proposals must show how volunteer screening will comply with Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles requirements for driving record checks. Budgets that include fuel reimbursement at the federal mileage rate and back-up vehicle arrangements receive higher scores.

The grant also requires evidence that the program can operate during winter months when snow removal on secondary roads is inconsistent. Projects serving at least three counties with population density below 50 persons per square mile receive priority.

Unlike applications centered on urban transit authorities, Indiana requires documented coverage of non-metro counties with limited public transportation options.
