Call Tri-County Community Council at 850-892-2422 to ask whether Transportation Disadvantaged service fits. Dial 211 or 855-420-8689 for another active medical, veteran, insurance, nonprofit, or community ride program.
Monday–Friday during business hours; dial 211 for additional current options

Words you can use
“I need a ride in or from Walton County for [purpose] on [date]. GoWal is paused. Which active Tri-County, health-plan, veteran, nonprofit, or community program should I contact first?”
Steps in order
- 1
Call or use the official intake route and lead with the immediate need.
- 2
Ask what eligibility, documents, assessment, and current funding or capacity apply.
- 3
Record the staff name, reference number, next action, and follow-up date.
- 4
Use the listed backup route if the program is closed, full, or not the correct door.
If the first answer is no or wait
Availability, funding, eligibility, and wait times can change. Ask for the reason in writing when possible, preserve every deadline, and dial 211 or call Walton County Administration at 850-892-8155 to locate another current route.
