The GATRA Van program offers convenient transportation services for older adults who may require assistance getting around. The program operates through a simple flat fee structure, where riders are charged $1.50 per ride, or $3.00 for a round trip. Through this program, older adults can access transportation services using various modes, including car, bus, or train, depending on their needs and preferences. To utilize the GATRA Van program, older adults are required to schedule their rides in advance, typically a few days prior to their intended travel date. This allows for efficient planning and coordination of transportation services. Payment for rides can be made either by cash or check, providing flexibility for riders. Additionally, the program offers shared rides, enabling multiple individuals to travel together to their respective destinations, promoting a sense of community and social connection. One of the key features of the GATRA Van program is its curb-to-curb transportation service, ensuring that older adults are safely picked up from and dropped off at their desired locations. This level of personalized assistance can help older adults maintain their independence and access essential services within their community. By offering reliable and affordable transportation options, the GATRA Van program aims to enhance the mobility and quality of life for older adults, enabling them to remain active and engaged in their surroundings.
