Seniors on the Go makes transit affordable & accessible for Lake County seniors

Making Transit Affordable:

Laketran and the Lake County Board of Commissioners are partnering to provide Lake County senior citizens, 60 years and older, free Dial-a-Ride transportation in Lake County. 

Seniors on the Go is available to help residents access community resources and maintain independent.  Destinations that seniors can access free of charge are:

Senior Centers	Libraries	Grocery Stores and Food Pantries
Fitness Centers	Beauty Salons	Farmers’ Markets
Parks	Barber Shops	Pharmacies

Dial-a-Ride reservations can be scheduled by calling Laketran 1-12 days in advance or online with Laketran’s Request-a-Ride.  Participants must complete Laketran Reduced Fare Application to verify age to receive free rides.

Lake County Network Volunteers can also receive free Dial-a-Ride transportation to volunteer jobs and training.  Volunteers must be approved through the Lake County Volunteer Network office prior to scheduling free rides on Laketran. 

Making Transit Accessible:

Are you a little anxious about trying Laketran or concerned about a friend or family members driving or isolation?  It’s time to call Laketran. We understand transitioning from driving a car to using public transportation can be a difficult life decision. Laketran’s Seniors on the Go program also provides personalized assistance from Laketran’s Customer Outreach Specialist, allowing seniors to stay mobile and independent. The program is flexible to the needs of each individual senior and their family.

The program provides resources so seniors can make personal decisions on whether they need transit assistance for night or winter driving, to get to doctors’ appointments, help during a life changing milestones (stroke rehab, cancer treatment), or for all essential transportation.
