Currently, there are multiple transportation options available. You must medically qualify for some of these options.

Do you need a ride?

• To a medical appointment? Transportation requests for medical appointments. GLSS Medical runs Monday though Friday. Request lines are open from 8:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. GLSS requires a two business day notice. Passengers can travel to a doctor's appointment between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. ( 8:30 being the first appointment and 3:30 being the last return.) GLSS service area includes Lynn, Lynnfield, Nahant, Saugus, & Swampscott. Drop offs in Salem are also 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (GLSS does not pick up residents in Salem or Peabody. GLSS goes to Peabody for drop offs only after 9:30 a.m., no later than 3:30 for returns. Saugus residents pick up only in wheelchair.) For more information or to schedule a ride:
