We know how hard it can be to get around in Vermont if you don’t drive. Senior Solutions collaborates with a number of transit providers to identify transportation solutions for you. This may include a van, a taxi, or a volunteer driver.

Tri-Valley Transit and Ticket to Ride
802-728-3773
Serving Northern Windsor County and Southern Orange Counties, this program provides door-to-door transportation to a variety of destinations including grocery stores, medical appointments, work, errands, and social events. This is a free service for riders over the age of 60 and those with disabilities when there is no other transportation available in the household.
Windsor & Windham Counties
The MOOVER provides free door-to-door transportation for riders 60+ and for persons with ADA-defined disabilities.
