Transportation is a critical link that assures seniors access to vital services and getting necessary items needed to live healthy and comfortable lives. Seniors should not have worries about not being able to get to their physician appointments, getting groceries, or being able to handle other important affairs that are necessary to living a healthily and comfortable life.
