Getting Smarter About Transportation: Preparing for COVID-19

Getting Smarter About Transportation

Ensuring the safety of our members.

As the District prepares for the potential impact of COVID-19, it is important that we provide our members with alternative ride solutions in the event that volunteer transportation is no longer the safest method of transport. Please find the available resources that are currently operating as scheduled, until further notice.
