OVERVIEW OF SHUTTLE SERVICE

The Trenton Transportation Shuttle Service is operated by the City of Trenton, in partnership with the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART), and provides door-to-door transportation to senior residents 60 years and older or persons with a qualifying disability.

Transportation is provided within the following boundaries:

This transportation service offers registrants affordable access to health care, adult daytime activities and events, grocery shopping, and other appointments in the Trenton and surrounding Downriver area.

As we relaunch transportation services for Trenton Seniors, there are some new guidelines and procedures you’ll need to know.

Riders are requested to practice social distancing as much as possible, staying 6 ft. from driver upon entering and exiting the vehicle.

All trips must be pre-paid. No cash payment will be accepted by drivers. Please contact us at 734-675-7300 to arrange pre-payment for your trips.

If you do not feel well, please cancel your scheduled trip and re-schedule at a later date when you are well.
