Milton Transit offering seniors door-to-door transit service during COVID-19 pandemic

Starting Monday, April 27, Milton Transit will offer seniors aged 65 plus door-to-door transit service to grocery stores and pharmacies during dedicated senior hours. The Town recognizes that not all seniors have supports or assistance to attain these necessary items, so this new service implementation will support seniors by providing safe, essential travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re offering this service to ensure seniors in our community can access essential services, worry-free,” said Tony D’Alessandro, Manager, Milton Transit. “During these uncertain times, we want to provide seniors safe transportation service they can rely on.”

• Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
• Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
