Seniors Need More Transportation Options!

In September, we attended senior fairs and expos in New Hanover, Pennsburg, and Lansdale hosted by Senator Pennycuick and State Representatives Mackenzie, Scheuren and Malagari. We processed 86 SEPTA Senior Key Cards applications and renewals so more seniors can travel on buses and trains for FREE.

They all received details about the Share-A-Ride program, too, so they can earn rewards when they travel by transit and get valuable coupons!

Applications and Renewals service is also available at our office. Please call ahead to ensure someone will be available to serve you at 215.997.9100.

Promoting Bicycling in Upper Perk!

On Saturday, September 9, we had the pleasure of participating in East Greenville’s Community Day.

Brad and Ty engaged with more than 60 people at Bike and Sol and helped 30 adults, teens and children to ride safely by providing them with free, fitted bike helmets!

They also shared valuable resources, including DVRPC’s RUTI tool, the Share-A-Ride program, and Smart Cycling quick guides by the League of American Bicyclists.

Thank you to our bike safety program sponsors for their support: Ambler Savings Bank, Harleysville Bank, Jefferson Health - Abington, QNB Financial Services, and VNA Foundation of Greater North Penn!

Attention, Indian Valley Employers!
