For seniors in Queens...

Northeast Queens Councilman Paul Vallone announced that, in partnership with Speaker Corey Johnson, the Free Senior Transportation Program will be extended this year with an additional $150,000 in funding.

 

“Since my office created the initiative four years ago, the Senior Transportation Program has provided thousands of free rides to and from important medical appointments, and I’m happy to announce that the program will offer this vital service to even more of our borough’s seniors this year,” Vallone said. “Most importantly, the program continues to run during the COVID-19 crisis, providing seniors with some peace of mind during these difficult times.”

 

To schedule a ride to an essential medical appointment, Queens seniors should call the Selfhelp Clearview Senior Center at 718-224-7888 between the hours of 9 a.m. and noon and leave their name and phone number in a voicemail to schedule their next-day rides. The Selfhelp team will return their call and arrange the ride.

 

Those who use the service will need to complete a basic application with demographic information and an emergency contact and provide their destination. Selfhelp Community Services works in partnership with Four Twos and Central Car Service to schedule rides.
