Payson Priola is a non-emergency transportation (NET) driver
responsible for transporting Maine Medicaid members between their

to access healthcare. She started with Modivcare in 2022, and
covers Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford Counties.
Modivcare named Priola driver of the year as she has shown

members. Priola regularly volunteers for trips or to cover times

and goes above and beyond with any free time she has during her
workday.
“Payson is the definition of a star employee,” Modivcare Maine’s
Fleet Manager Susan Taylor said. “She is someone we can count on
when we need it most. She doesn’t hesitate to take on additional
responsibilities, and we are happy that she is a part of our
team.”
Priola is proud to be named Driver of the Year and have
recognition for her hard work.
“It is important for me to be dependable, not only for
Modivcare, but for the members who rely on our transportation to
make it to their appointments or medical visits,” Priola said. “I
look forward to continuing to serve our members as a valued member
of the Modivcare team.”
Since 2014, Modivcare has grown its NET provider network in
Maine from 10 to more than 45 local providers across the state,
