Provides rides for any purpose, as long as you meet one of the following criteria: you are 65+ years old, or you have a disability.
The Shared Ride/ PwD program provides transportation services for individuals based on the number of miles traveled. The fare varies depending on the distance, with options for rides ranging from 0 to 2 miles all the way to 25+ miles. Older adults who are 65 and above receive discounted fares compared to the standard rates. This program offers paratransit services, utilizing buses or trains for transportation.
Riders are required to schedule their rides in advance, typically a few days beforehand, to ensure availability. Payment options include checks, pre-payment, and cash, offering flexibility for older adults. One of the highlights of this program is the option for shared rides, allowing passengers to travel together and reduce costs.
Additionally, the Shared Ride/ PwD program provides an extra level of assistance by offering drivers who are willing to wait for passengers if they need to run an errand or attend an appointment. This feature can be particularly helpful for older adults who may require additional time or assistance during their trips.
