Medical Transit/Southern New London County
The Senior Center is currently offering transportation for medical appointments that are located within southern New London County. Transportation is being funded by a grant through the Department of Transportation. The rides are available 7 days per week, 24 hours a day but they must be for medical appointments only. There are no fees for this transportation. There is a limit to the number of rides available each year. However, this option will only be offered if the needs of the individual cannot be met in any other manner.
In addition, this grant provides mileage reimbursement for those registered for the program. Call the Senior Center for further information.
