“Without the support of the various community organizations providing transportation services, residents who are uncomfortable or unable to drive may be limited in their ability to access medical, recreational, shopping and social activities,” said Coree Ladwig, FCSS Seniors and Adult Program Team Lead. “These grants are a means to support County residents to help ensure that they can continue to access resources that will assist in promoting their independence and enhancing their quality of life.”
