Not to brag, but we did offer 606 rides with Senior Transportation Connection in 2025! These rides were to physical therapy appointments, adult day centers, necessary medical appointments, grocery shopping and personal trips. Thanks to the Support of WRAAA & Orange School District (City of Pepper Pike, Orange, Woodmere, Hunting Valley & Moreland Hill), who help offset the cost so older adults can remain independent.
