Senior Transportation Testimonial

Our bus driver, Sandy, knows that her bus is critical to Strafford County seniors since many live alone or have limited access to any kind of regular transportation. But our agency's senior transportation program is more than just a ride on a bus. Unlike fixed-route public transit, our driver provides door-to-door, demand response service which means she drives right up to every rider's door, helps them on and also helps them get off and helps carry packages into their homes.

Last year, one of our riders fell and was unable to get up and call for help. Although she lives alone, she knew that if she didn't come to the door then our driver would know something is wrong. It was that thought that allowed her to make it through the night on the floor until our bus arrived. Our driver realized something was wrong and called for emergency personnel. They were able to get into her home and provide her with medical treatment.

"It's awful when you cannot get out. It's like being in jail," says one rider. "I don't know what I'd do without the bus."
