How to apply for Somerset County Para-Transit — Senior & Disabled Rides (Somerset County) in New Jersey
Somerset County Transportation Division (Department of Public Works), with the Office on Aging and Disability Services
Who it's for
Somerset County Para-Transit gives rides to county residents who are 60 or older, or who have a disability and are 18 or older, and who have no other way to get there. Rides go to medical appointments, jobs, nutrition programs and other places, including pharmacies, banks, credit unions, salons and barbershops. Trips are given based on time and space available. Call the Transportation Division at 908-231-7116 to register and book a ride.
Para-transit is for riders who have no other means of transportation, and trips depend on time and space available, so this shows as a may-qualify result. Not legal or financial advice.
