Seniors need affordable transportation options.

Affordable senior transportation is essential for maintaining independence and health. Without a reliable way to get to doctor’s appointments or buy food and household supplies, seniors can’t realistically remain in their homes as they age. Social isolation is another big problem for seniors who don’t drive. It causes poorer quality of life and contributes to earlier death. Having access to affordable transportation keeps older adults connected with family, friends, and their community.

To keep seniors healthy and active, we’ve rounded up 6 local transportation options that help seniors get around.
