Please be prepared to give the Dispatcher the Appointment time, Name, Address and Phone number of the doctor you are scheduling with.

On shopping days, please discuss pick-up times with your driver remembering final decisions will be at the discretion of the driver in accordance with his/her schedule. Driver may assist riders with light packages. 

 We appreciate your cooperation and patience while scheduling and driving everyone to and from their destinations. Please be ready 15 minutes prior to your scheduled pick up time. Be prepared to wait approximately 30 minutes to one hour for your return ride due to unexpected delays with other riders. This may not happen every time, but please be prepared by bringing a book, etc.

The van is wheelchair accessible, however, riders must be able to approach the van without assistance from driver as the driver is not responsible for escorting to and from the van. The driver will assist riders in wheelchairs onto the lift and into the van. Please advise us if you need this service.

Thank you for your understanding and if you have any suggestions as to how the Town of Halfmoon can serve you better, please feel free to call Kevin Tollisen, Halfmoon Town Supervisor or Lynda Bryan, Town Clerk.
