Unlike traditional fixed routes, this program provides flexibility by offering shared rides in vans. The program charges a flat fee for rides, with pricing ranging from $3.00 to $4.00 per trip for the main rider and $1.50 to $2.00 for additional passengers. Additionally, fixed route and ADA paratransit services are free for eligible participants through June 30, 2025. To utilize this program, older adults can pre-pay for their rides and payment can be made in cash. It's important to note that rides must be scheduled at least one week in advance, allowing for proper planning. The program offers curb-to-curb transportation, ensuring that participants are safely transported from their origin to their destination. When considering scheduling transportation through the Demand Response Program, older adults can expect reliable and convenient rides tailored to their needs.
