The Transportation Assistance program offers affordable transportation services to older adults in the community. For local trips, riders are encouraged to make a suggested donation of 4 dollars per trip, with an additional 2 dollars for each extra stop along the way. Out-of-town trips are priced based on mileage, ensuring fair costs for longer journeys. It's important to note that the program accommodates older adults regardless of their ability to donate, ensuring access to transportation for all who need it.
To utilize this service, older adults need to schedule their rides in advance, typically a few days beforehand, to secure their transportation needs. The program accepts payment in the form of checks or cash, providing flexibility for riders in how they choose to pay for their trips. Transportation is provided via vans, offering a comfortable and reliable mode of travel for older adults. By charging riders based on the miles traveled, the program ensures transparent pricing for its services, making it easier for older adults to plan their transportation budget. When booking a ride through the program, remember to consider scheduling Rides In Advance to guarantee availability and timely pickups.
