[Ct-nfb] PLEASE HELP

[jobo15 at cox.net]

Hi Gary,
How about calling the people below? I don’t know if your visitors are visually impaired, but this might work. You might be able to set up a short term account. I’ve used them and everyone is very nice. It’s worth a try.
Best Regards,
Joanna
ITNNorthCentralConnecticut™

 is now offering rides 24/7 to seniors and adults with visual  impairments in Bloomfield, East Granby, East Windsor, Enfield,

Granby, Somers, South Windsor, Suffield, Windsor and Windsor Locks.  This alternative transportation program uses a combination of volunteer and paid drivers

who provide rides in private vehicles.  There is no restriction on the purpose of a ride, and help is offered to carry packages, fold walkers, and open

doors.



Annual memberships are $40 for an individual and $60 for a household.  Ride charges during the day are $4 for pickup plus $1 per mile.  Unlike with a taxi

or bus, no money changes hands during the ride because members set up a Personal Transportation Account™ from which their fares are debited. Riding with

ITN is like riding with a friend who will help you carry packages, open doors and fold walkers.



Members enjoy peace of mind knowing that a clean private car and safe, experienced driver are available to them around the clock, 365 days a year. They

do not have to ask for favors, plan around the schedules of others, travel in groups, or make their way to a pick-up point to reach their destination.



Volunteer schedules are very flexible.  You can give a ride on your way to work and do a good deed before the day has even begun!  

ITNNorthCentralConnecticut™ is a community-supported nonprofit that does not use public dollars for operating expenses.  The organization needs additional

volunteers to keep the cost of the service affordable. ITN also accepts car donations, or members may trade their unused cars for an equal value of ride

credits.  Applications for memberships and to become a volunteer driver are on the website at

www.itnnorthcentralct.org.

For more information, call Margaret Smith Hale at 860-758-7833 or email

info at itnnorthcentralct.org.
