Transportation Services

We offer HIV positive individuals round-trip transportation, by appointment only for:

• SWC programs
• PATF Food Pantry
• Wellness and health related programs offered by other local AIDS service organizations

There is no charge for this service and tips will not be accepted.

You must call the SWC office at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment. The more advance notice you can give us the greater the possibility we can accommodate your needs. The transportation coordinator can be reached at 412.683.4477.

Scheduling is always done on a first-come, first-served basis.

We do not provide transportation for post surgery or emergency medical needs, moving personal property, shopping trips, personal errands or to persons who are not HIV+.

For daytime appointments, van service is limited to the metropolitan Pittsburgh area. For evening program events, service is limited to the area designated on the map below.

If you do not live within the defined area, but can arrange transportation to downtown or another prearranged pickup point within the area, we can still be of service. Out of area pickup points are: Downtown, Oakland and East Liberty.

Guests are not permitted but a caregiver may accompany members.

Members traveling with children under age four must provide a baby seat that meets industry standards and install it when boarding the van.

Members must complete an Member Information Form (137 KB) and also read and agree to our passenger policies. (In order to download the form, you must have Adobe^® Acrobat^® Reader. You may down load it free from the link below.)

Members who fail to show up for a scheduled pickup or who do not notify the SWC office of a canceled pickup within at least twelve hours of the appointment will not be eligible for future service.

The transportation coordinator can be reached at 412.683.4477.
