How to apply for Washington County Senior Transportation — Office for the Aging (Washington County)

Who it's for

Washington County does not run a public transit department. The Office for the Aging arranges rides for county residents age 60 and older who have no other way to travel, through L.E.A.P. Community Action (518-746-2390) and the GoGo Grandparent ride service. Register with the Office for the Aging at 518-746-2420 before the first ride. People enrolled in Medicaid use Medicaid transportation instead, at 1-855-360-3544. Fixed-route buses around Glens Falls and Hudson Falls are now run by CDTA, which took over Greater Glens Falls Transit on January 1, 2024.

What you'll need

• Proof of Washington County residency
• Proof of age 60+
• Registration with the Office for the Aging before the first ride
