Via Mobility Services (Via) and Seniors’ Resource Center (SRC) announced that SRC has transferred their Transportation Program to Via.
Access to affordable, accessible transportation options is essential to enhancing the independence and quality of life of all Coloradans.
Seniors’ Resource Center has been a leader in providing vital transportation services to older adults for over 40 years. As communities across the Denver Metro area continue to age, the demand for rides is far outpacing SRC’s capacity to serve the active seniors who have places to go and things to do but may not be able to drive independently.
On July 1, 2020, Via assumed SRC’s transportation program. Via will retain all SRC staff and vehicles, and riders can expect a seamless transition. This transition will increase the availability of paratransit in the Denver Metro region without sacrificing the quality of service that SRC riders expect.
