  • Care-A-Van provides transportation for people with disabilities who are unable to ride the public bus and for anyone age 60 or older.
  • Care-A-Van takes passengers anywhere they would like to go: to the doctor’s office, to the store, to a friend’s house, to school, the grocery store and even the bank.
  • Drivers are trained to assist a rider from door to bus and bus to door, including helping with a number of small to moderate packages.
  • Drivers may be available to help with errands, such as small package pick-ups and deliveries, call the Senior Center for details.
