Where can I find resources for transportation services in the Bay Area?

Expert Answer

I'm going to assume you're looking for senior transportation services or paratransit. You can contact your local public transportation company or senior center and ask for referrals. But there are two handy on-line tools that may help you, as well. The first of these is the Area Agency on Aging's Eldercare Locator, which is a federal government referral service usually operated by the county. These offices provide information on all kinds of local senior services (not just caregivers), including transportation. You can also try using the AARP's state-by-state transportation guide, a handy way to get information on local transit companies. Taxis are another consideration. I hope you find what you need.
