Good morning DORS-BESB staff and community partners,

I am forwarding the information below from Nutmeg Senior Rides.

Nutmeg Senior Rides

Wonderful program...  

Changing lives one ride at a time

We are helping families, 6 days a week.

Few public transportation options

It’s your choice, how do you want to travel? A community-based and 
community supported service.

People today outlive their ability to drive by 6 to 10 years.    Under 
this program there are no restrictions on the purpose of a ride and our 
volunteer drivers carry packages, fold walkers, and open doors.  When 
serving the visually impaired, we go with them into stores to assist in 
finding whatever they want to buy.  Their well-being is our primary 
concern

·       Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and may be booked at any 
time, however discounts are available for advanced notice and shared 
rides

·       Available for any type of ride within the service area, no 
limitations on the purpose of the ride

·       Nutmeg senior Rides  keeps fares reasonable by asking members to 
pay roughly half the true costs of providing rides 

·        Volunteer drivers who provide rides in private vehicles by 
trained volunteer drivers

Transportation is the link to independence, quality of life and social 
interaction.  Make 2 or 3 stops if you want to…

·       Provided to people 50 years and older, and visually impaired 
adults over 18

·       Check out our web site for pricing.

·       Bloomfield, East Granby, East Windsor, Enfield, Granby, Somers, 
South Windsor, Windsor and Windsor Locks

Seniors and people with visual impairments will want to walk for Nutmeg 
Senior Rides.

 This program fills a crucial gap if you want another option, and a 
better choice for transportation, it is Nutmeg Senior Rides.

 WE hope that you can help your community!

We are going inside the Enfield Square Mall on March 12, 2016.  
Registration is at 10 AM and the Walk starts at 11 AM.  We will have an 
information Kiosk from January 15 on in the Mall. Evan White will be our 
MC from WSFB and will have promotional spots on WMAS from mid-February 
to the Walk. We hope that you will join us, sign up by calling 860 758 
7833 or

email ctseniorrides at gmail.com <mailto:ctseniorrides at gmail.com>  or 
register online through www.NutmegSeniorRides.org
