I have lived in Sumter County for 22 years and we used this service for my husband before he passed.
Not exactly. The program you referred is not just based on age and disability. It is based on income. I suspect that many Villagers do not qualify because their income is too high. Also, what about Villagers who live in Lake County or Marion County? There are many Villagers who can well afford transportation, but it is not available.
