Seniors who need a ride to COVID-19 vaccination appointments in Greene and Washington counties can now take advantage of a no-cost option.
Southwestern Pennsylvania Area Agency on Aging has partnered with county commissioners, along with other agencies, to offer free rides to those 60 and older who need transportation to and from vaccine appointments.
Greene County Transportation Services is offering free rides to seniors in that county; and in Washington County, the Area Agency on Aging and Washington County commissioners have teamed with Freedom Transit to offer rides for seniors.
The Area Agency on Aging, which is covering the costs of the bus rides, said transportation should not be a barrier for people who need to get vaccinated during the pandemic.
