Extend the Age Strong MBTA Lift Ride Services to Seniors by using the PB funding
Who it helps and why
I am a senior citizen and I get rides through the MBTA program. I am limited to 10 rides per month and it's not enough if I have medical appointments. I would like to see part of the $2 million dollars to continue this program. The rides end at 3:30pm and it would be nice to provide later rides available. I would like for this program to last longer. This is very useful to me because I do not drove because I am blind. This would be wonderful thing.
