Bridgeport  para transit I thought was pretty good, but… 
I  learned that on the weekends, where I live in Stratford, they will not  
service me for pick ups or drop offs.  During the week up to like 9:30  in 
the evening I have gotten rides home  So during the weekend even if  we could 
find a meeting place they would not pick up at resident’s homes,  but some 
main roads they will.  We have on Main Street Stratford the  Paradise Green 
area which has stores, restaurants, drug stores I can not  even get 
transportation down there to meet a friend.  I really thought  since Bridgeport is 
so close to me and the people in Bridgeport can get  rides from their homes 
to many places and now it is changed.  We don’t  have the right to be out and 
attend things in our own town on the  weekend?

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_ 
(tel:860%20758%207833)  or

email  _ctseniorrides at gmail.com_ (mailto:ctseniorrides at gmail.com)  or 
register online through  _www.NutmegSeniorRides.org_

Margaret  Smith Hale
