Senior Transportation
If the time comes when a person can no longer drive, he / she often loses the ability to run to the store or visit friends. But giving up the car does not mean a person is stuck at home. On the contrary, a variety of transportation options exist to assist adults aged 60 or better in St. Croix County so they may remain active, involved, and independent.
Specialized Van Transportation Program: The purpose of the Specialized Van Transportation program is to provide transportation to persons 60 and older with disabilities, or the spouses of either. The general public may ride on a "space available" basis. Service is available in the communities of: Baldwin, Deer Park, Glenwood City, Hammond, Hudson, New Richmond, Roberts, Somerset, and Woodville. The vans provide transportation to local senior centers / nutrition sites, medical, employment, shopping and social destinations within each community. The vans in three communities are handicapped accessible. Days and times of van service vary by community. Requests for services are made by contacting the senior center located in the community in which van service is needed. Requests must be made 24 - 48 hours in advance.
