Local Tansportation Services

Northeast Independent Living Program, Inc (NILP) is pleased to announce the availability of our accessible van transportation service. We currently operate two vehicles, with one being a 10 passenger van with raised roof and wheelchair lift, and the second is a 20 passenger accessible mini-bus.

We offer limited transportation to medical visits, social-recreational, service needs, etc to people with disabilities and elders who live in Lawrence, Andover, North Andover, and Methuen. This is a local door-to-door service scheduled between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, excluding holidays. We provide this transportation service to people with disabilities, elders, and families transitioning from public assistance to employment for whom existing public or private transportation is unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate.

These vehicles are provided thanks to a grant from The Massachusetts Office of Transportation under the Mobility Assistance Program (MAP) under Chapter 33 of the Acts of 1991 and Section 5310 of The Federal Transit Act, as amended. Additionally, The Stevens Foundation, of North Andover generously provided us with the required 20% match.
