The Public Transportation program offers an affordable way for older adults to access transportation services within their community. With a standard fare of $1.50 per one-way trip, and a discounted fare of $0.75 for older adults and individuals with disabilities, this program aims to make public transit accessible to all members of the community.
Payment options are convenient and varied, including checks, pre-payment, and credit card payments, as well as cash for those who prefer that method. The program operates on fixed routes with a fixed schedule, providing predictability for riders planning their trips. Additionally, curb-to-curb transportation is available, ensuring older adults can reach their destinations safely and comfortably.
Service animals are welcome on board, allowing older adults to travel with their furry companions when needed. By offering shared rides, the Public Transportation program not only promotes social connections but also contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly mode of transportation for older adults in the community.
