The Transportation Assistance program offers free transportation services to older adults who may have difficulty accessing or affording transportation. Through this program, older adults can schedule rides in advance, either by car or van, to get to their medical appointments, grocery shopping, or other essential trips. By relying on donated vehicles and volunteer drivers, this program ensures that older adults can maintain their independence and stay connected to their community.
To utilize the Transportation Assistance program, older adults are encouraged to schedule their rides at least a few days in advance, allowing for proper coordination of resources and volunteers. It's important to note that this program is cost-free, relieving any financial burden on older adults who may be on a fixed income. For those planning to use the van services, it's recommended to schedule rides at least 1 week in advance to secure a spot and ensure timely transportation.
Overall, the Transportation Assistance program serves as a valuable resource for older adults seeking reliable and affordable transportation options. It not only addresses mobility challenges but also promotes social inclusion and overall well-being among older members of the community.
