V. SRCA COMMITTEE AND ADVISORY GROUP REPORTS Rob Holmes – SR Transportation Options
Transportation options for Scripps Ranch Seniors (email sent out). SRCA 50 Plus provides to the community. It does not cover MTS/bus service, as I have found that most SR seniors want door-to-door transportation, which is generally not available by bus. Most of the services are for those 60+ and older who are able to advocate for themselves and who are ambulatory/able to enter and exit a vehicle without assistance. JFS’ “On the Go Silver”, however, does offer services for wheelchair-bound passengers. You do not have to be Jewish to use JFS’ services. Note: I have verified that all these services are available for 92131 resident; some JFS and Elder Help of San Diego services may not be available in other zip codes.
