Staying healthy
Staying healthy is very essential. Doctors appointments are very important to make and to keep. We are providing van rides to medical appointments and for general dial-a-ride services.

Currently, the van rides are free, but that will change when the WRTA announces its inception. We are told they will give us a month’s advance notice when fees will begin, again. I would hope that you would take advantage of the free service we are currently providing. All requests must be called in at least 48 hours in advance.

Especially during the holiday season, it is vitally important to remember those who may be struggling during this challenging time, said Evangelidis. Instead of cancelling our annual winter coat drive due to the constraints and concerns of COVID, our department doubled down on our commitment to help those in need during the cold winter months.
