Transportation Resources in Madison County, AL

After 45 years of proudly providing transportation services, Enable Madison County has discontinued the program as of May 1, 2025. This decision reflects our commitment to continually evaluating and evolving our services based on the changing needs of the community. We are grateful to the many volunteers, donors, and supporters who made this program possible—and who also helped inspire the growth of additional transportation services in our area.

All current transportation clients will be seamlessly connected with a trusted partner agency to ensure they continue receiving the essential ride services they rely on—a transition for which we are deeply grateful.
