Upper Rogue Community Center Transportation Policy
Effective 7/1/06
The Upper Rogue Community Center has been providing transportation for Upper Rogue
residents for many years. This has been a vital service for the senior and disabled residents of
our area. Due to inevitable changes, it has become necessary for us to revamp our program. Our
service is available for members of the Community Center. Membership is $10.00 per
household per year.
1. You must call the Community Center at 878-2702 no later than 1:00 pm the day before
and no more than 72 hours in advance to schedule your ride. Ongoing rides will not be
accepted.
2. Have the time of your appointment and the address of where you need to go available
when you call to set up your ride.
3. If you should need to cancel your ride, call the Center as soon as possible.
4. Your round trip fare authorizes you to make a total of three stops. All medical
appointments in Medford must be made between 10:00 a.m. and
3:00 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday only. Any deviation to this schedule
must be approved by the Director prior to the ride being given.
5. The van will endeavor to leave Medford by 3:30 p.m. This could vary if a medical
appointment should run longer than expected. All riders should plan to be ready to leave
by this time.
6. Transportation in the Shady Cove/Trail area and from Eagle Point to the Center will be
provided on Wednesdays and Fridays. We will continue to provide the Thursday Eagle
Point Shuttle from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. as demand warrants. There must be at least
two riders for the shuttle to run.
7. No early returns from Medford unless there is an emergency as determined by the driver.
This causes too much strain on the URCC Van Program and must be avoided. All
passengers have options of taxicabs if they want or need a taxi cab type of service.
8. Our area of service is the Upper Rogue area that includes Prospect, Trail, Shady Cove,
Butte Falls and Eagle Point and parts of White City.
9. Medical passengers have first priority, disabled next, then senior shoppers. All others
ride on a space available basis.
10. Personal Care Assistants will be charged a $2.00 flat fee.
11. All fares are calculated as round trip. No reduction in the fare will be allowed for a oneway ride.
