The San Diego County Senior Transportation Program has expanded its free ride service to include wheelchair-accessible transportation for low-income seniors across San Diego County, it was announced Friday.
The county-sponsored initiative is operated by Jewish Family Service of San Diego's On the Go, which is the county's largest senior transportation service and collaborates with a network of transportation providers equipped with accessible vehicles and rideshare drivers to"provide passengers with comfortable and convenient travel options," a statement from the program reads.
"Transportation is a fundamental aspect of independence and quality of life, and we firmly believe that physical abilities should not limit mobility," said Maureen Glaser, senior program manager."By introducing wheelchair-accessible rides and increasing enrollment, we aim to bridge the transportation gap and empower San Diego seniors with mobility challenges to navigate their communities independently.
The program is available to low-income seniors.
