Our grant funded transportation program is offered to seniors 60 years or older that meet annual eligibility requirements. To learn if you meet the requirements of this program call us at 409-770-6251.

The H-GAC funded transportation program allows us to provide transport to and from our senior centers for eligible participating members only. This service is for recreational and enrichment activities only. In addition, we also make planned trips for participating seniors to local grocery stores, post offices, pharmacies, banks, local farmers markets, resale shops and more. Our vehicles come complete with a wheelchair lift and curb to curb service whereas our drivers can assist participants stepping on and off their curb. If you require assistance getting to and from the curb, please ensure that you are accompanied by a companion to assist you. Home visits with our drivers will be scheduled ahead of time for those with wheelchairs or limited mobility to determine safest method for transport.  Funding for the transportation program is provided by the Houston-Galveston Area Council and Texas Health & Human Services Commission. For more information on program eligibility please call 409-770-6251.
