Recently found out about this program, it is a blessing for so many elderly people that need to get out.
Linda Wilson hasn’t been able to drive since breaking her arm on Easter.
Still the Ceres retiree has been able to make it to all of her medical appointments and social calls with ease. But she’s not taking a bus, taxi,ride share or even relying on friends for her door-to-door service.
Instead, she uses Care Cruisers, a free publicly-funded transportation program offered to all Stanislaus County residents aged 50 and up, plus people with disabilities or mobility issues.
“I like this better than the bus, or a taxi,” Wilson said, “it’s better, free and I get to meet new people, see places around the area I haven’t before.”
The door-to-door service is provided free to county residents who qualify, thanks to Measure L, a half-percent sales tax increase passed by Stanislaus County voters a decade ago.
