For over 50 years, Porter County Aging & Community Services has been providing a relatively low cost demand response transportation service for the citizens of Porter County.
These services are open to the public and door to door, meaning clients can be picked up at their homes, dropped off at their desired destination and returned to their homes.
Over eighty percent of our riders are senior citizens and the disabled. By providing door to door transportation services to this population, we enable them to have a more productive, independent, healthier and happier lifestyle. They rely on us to get them to life sustaining dialysis treatments, doctor appointments, trips to the bank, grocery store, work, etc. Without our vans, many local seniors would go without necessary medical treatment. Others would go without groceries. Many disabled citizens would not be able to sustain employment without our vans. Our transportation services are often the direct link between this population and the ability to be healthy, independent and productive citizens.
Drivers can help the elderly and disabled get on the bus, carry groceries to their door and handle wheel chairs and car seats when needed.
