Town Of South Kingstown: South Kingstown Senior Services Temporarily Suspends Transportation Program

Press release from the Town of South Kingstown:

South Kingstown Senior Services regrets to announce the temporary suspension of the senior transportation program due to a vacant van driver position. The program will resume as soon as a new driver has been hired and trained.

In the meantime, we understand the inconvenience this may cause and want to provide alternative transportation resources for seniors in our community. Seniors can utilize the RIPTA Flex Service bus program, which offers accessible transportation options throughout the area. Passengers can make a reservation 24 hours in advance by calling 401-784-9500 ext. 1220. Additionally, Southern RI Volunteers at 401-552-7661 can be contacted to assist seniors with transportation needs.

We recognize the importance of reliable transportation for our senior community at South Kingstown Senior Services. We are actively working to fill the vacant van driver position and will resume our transportation program as quickly as possible.

For more information on alternative transportation options please contact South Kingstown Senior Services at 401-789-0268 ext. #4 or visit the Town website.

We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary suspension may cause and appreciate the understanding and support of our community as we work to ensure the continued well-being and accessibility of our senior services.
