South-Central Colorado Seniors, Inc. (San Luis Valley Area Agency on Aging)
Who it's for
The San Luis Valley Area Agency on Aging does not run its own buses, but it can issue consumer-directed transportation vouchers: an older adult who needs rides in a private vehicle (for example, from a family member or friend) can have the driver's mileage reimbursed at the agency's current rate. Call the Administration Office at 719-589-4511 to ask about eligibility.
Service areas, hours, and fares or donations are set by the provider; rides depend on driver and vehicle availability.
