The Public Transit with Deviated Stops program offers transportation services for older adults who may have difficulty boarding or alighting at regular bus stops along fixed routes. Riders can schedule rides in advance by contacting the program's office at least a few days prior to their desired travel date. The fare for this program is affordable at $1.50 per trip, with payment options that include cash or check. One of the key features of this program is the Deviated Stops service, allowing riders to request board or drop-off points within a ¾ mile distance from the regular route. This service caters to individuals who may face challenges in accessing standard bus stops. To utilize Deviated Stops, riders must contact the program's office to reserve their request before the end of the business day prior to their travel day. It's important to note that route deviations are limited to two per trip and are accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure service efficiency. Transportation under this program is provided using vans that follow fixed routes, offering a reliable and inclusive travel option for older adults in the community. For more information or to make a reservation, individuals can reach out to the program's office at the provided contact number.
