Rural Transportation Program Serves Aging Populations in Central Texas

A free transit program for older adults in Central Texas, launched in June 2024 by CARTS in partnership with AAACAP and CAPCOG, has provided over 28,000 rides to seniors, addressing post-pandemic isolation and improving access to healthcare and social services. The program expands beyond medical appointments to include destinations like grocery stores and community centers, with monthly rides averaging 1,600 in recent months.
