I sometimes use Milford Transit. I was using them on a permanent basis. 
for a while they came on time. then they were coming too late for me to 
take classes. called them up to cancel & explained why cancelling.  they 
just said ok. they really did not care. too bad. felt bad they did not 
care.

Forget it Eileen, we're forgotten down here. Makes me very sad of 
course.

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

ctseniorrides at gmail.com <mailto:ctseniorrides at gmail.com>  or register 
online through
