Elderly Transportation
Through the Senior Shuttle, the Transportation Program provides curb-to-curb transportation to Boston’s elderly. The shuttle operates scheduled trips within Boston with medical appointments receiving highest priority, followed by grocery shopping. Social and recreational activities are provided based on availability. The Transportation Program also oversees the Taxi Discount Coupon Program and develops and maintains collaborations with other senior transportation providers, elder service organizations and city agencies to provide access to other transportation services and to help educate our seniors on pedestrian safety and safe driver issues.
