Hello
I think this is a good tyep of service to a point . As in Stamford there is
a organization which is that is based of volunteers that help blind
disabled persons of all vision types do what ever is the need help
ion the home a reader, help with businesss, errends, shopping etcc do have
only a handful of driver volunteers iin which one had ot get approved
for the organization. As so what am saying is that do think that this
service here is a good one as there is a need for it and if is out there
to help seniors then why not the disabled Think there should be something
that is wide spreed of the state jsut for disabled .
Thanks Elizabeth

Good morning
Yes My Ride is the service provider for the area but it doesn't provide
the services outlined. We are not permitted to make stops in route to
anywhere, the only way to do this would be to make individual reservations as we
all know can be very time consuming Also the idea of the driver assisting
with something like shopping is very helpful While I am grateful for My
Ride it just doesn't offer the same type of service.

ITN Coastal serves Fairfield west through Norwalk and up to Wilton, etc.
Unfortunately Rich is a little too east of the service area at this point…
They’re a great service for those who are in their service area now.

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_
(http://www.nutmegseniorrides.org/) .
Warm regards,
Margaret Smith Hale
