STATE ELDERLY AND DISABLED TRANSPORTATION GRANT APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE

Sponsored by the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Public Transit Division, this program funds transportation services benefiting the elderly and people with disabilities.

ReplyDeleteWhat is it? Trimet lift?
ReplyDeleteNo, as LIFT is not non-profit.
ReplyDeleteI believe this is for social service groups that, say, coordinate a van and drivers that take seniors to certain places. For example, there's the guy that testified to the board awhile back who drives other vets up to the VA Hospital.
