The Public Transportation program offers older adults convenient and affordable access to public transit services. One of the standout features of this program is that individuals aged 60 and above can ride for free, with a suggested donation of $1.50 per one-way trip to support the service. For those aged 5-11, the fare is half-price, making it conducive for families to travel together. Riders can enjoy one-way trips priced according to distance: $3.00 for trips up to 20 miles, $5.00 for journeys spanning 21-40 miles, and $7.00 for longer trips exceeding 41 miles. Riders can expect shared rides and must schedule their transportation a few days in advance, ensuring a smoother and more coordinated travel experience. The program also accommodates service animals, providing a pet-friendly environment for those in need. Accepted payment methods include cash and check, offering flexibility for passengers. With curb-to-curb transportation services, the Public Transportation program prioritizes the safety and comfort of older adults, allowing them to travel with ease to their desired destinations. This program's commitment to providing accessible and well-priced transit options makes it a valuable resource for older adults seeking reliable transportation solutions.
