Utah Council of the Blind

Description

The UCB offers members a special service for transportation. If you have a friend or a neighbor who will drive for you, they can receive reimbursement of mileage at $.40 a mile for up to 200 miles a month. The member is required to purchase coupons for this service by sending $.10 or a mile, or $20.00 at the beginning of the month to 1301 W. 500 S., Woods Cross, UT 84087. When the member receives the coupons he/she gives them to the driver and he/she can redeem them for the mileage reimbursement by sending them to the same address. Remember to request the form which the driver needs to fill out. This program is especially helpful for those needing a guide to shop, find a doctor's office or for those living in the rural areas where transportation is not available. Spouses will not be reimbursed.
