Service Limitations
Senior Services staff members will use their discretion to ensure that transportation requests can be provided
safely. Senior Services may also refuse transportation to you if you engage in violent, seriously disruptive, or
illegal conduct, pose a direct threat to the health and safety of others, are in possession of a weapon, display
objectionable conduct (such as but not limited to being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, or
participate in any form of harassing behavior) or when the schedule is full. Senior Services cannot assume
responsibility for being a resident’s sole source of transportation. We advise all passengers to maintain family,
friends, and neighbors as back up to the Senior Services transportation service. In order to have transportation
available to all older and disabled residents, we may limit the number of rides scheduled per month per person
if the demand for rides exceeds the department’s resources. Passengers are encouraged to register for the
Municipal Transportation Grant program (MED RIDE), which provides transportation to medical appointments
seven days a week and 24 hours per day in New London County and Westerly.
