SLO Regional Rideshare is assisting seniors (thru senior centers and other groups) to take bus trips within the County. If you would like to be involved in one of these groups, or have a group who would like to take their first steps in the transit world, please contact Cindy Blake @ 781-4362 for more information. Following a successful presentation at the Paso Robles Senior Center recently, field trips are being arranged in May on Paso Express and RTA Route 9. Contact Cindy at 781-4362 if you would like to join the rides being planned.   Mobility Management Program SLO Regional Rideshare recently received a grant funded by the Federal Job Access Commute (JARC) Program, which will assist with the following goals: • Provide regional leadership and promote dialogue between public transit operators and human services agencies or organizations; and • Bridge the commonly found “communication gap” between the human services and public transit agencies; and • Further the dialog and increase coordination among all public transit operators to better service the trip needs identified by stakeholders. In addition, Ride-On Transportation received a New Freedom Grant for Mobility Coordination to promote the use of public transportation and provide rides to social services agencies at a discount when public transit, dial-a-ride, shuttle and Runabout services cannot be applied. Together our agencies will assist with trip planning assistance, transit field trips and providing up to date information on the transportation options in the County.
