Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) Special Medical Trips service provides medical transportation four days per month; two days to the San Jose area and two days to the San Francisco area. The program is open to all Monterey County residents. To ride, you must make a reservation. Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis, and must be made by 5:00 PM three days before you plan to travel. Cancellations must also be made before 5:00 PM one day before your reserved trip. Failure to cancel by 5:00 PM may jeopardize future riding privileges.
