Transportation

How to get to and from your cancer treatment appointments when driving yourself isn't an option

As of now, there isn't any form of cancer treatment that can be done completely at home, so transportation can become an issue for cancer patients. Sometimes, the treatment itself can have side effects that make it difficult to drive. Even patients with a strong support system may need help getting to their appointments from time to time.

University of Michigan Transportation Assistance

There are many ways to get patients to and from the University of Michigan for medical care. Our dedicated social workers are available to help to determine solutions, identify transportation resources, and arrange patient transportation for those who qualify. Call us at 800-888-9825 to determine your eligibility. Please note: we don’t offer our own transportation service; we provide resources, check insurance coverage, and arrange the service. We also provide discounted parking for eligible individuals.

Visit the Public Transportation page in the UMHS Patient & Visitor Guide to get information about the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (AAATA), the U-M Bus System and area taxi companies.
