Seniors seek new ride options as Palo Alto Link service ends

The Palo Alto Link, a discounted rideshare service for seniors and people with disabilities, has recently ended, according to Palo Alto Online.

This change has led to an increase in ride requests at transit and senior-focused nonprofits in the area.

Volunteers and staff at Avenidas, a senior center in Palo Alto, had anticipated this development and are working to assist those affected.

The community is adjusting to the loss of this service by exploring alternative transportation options for seniors and disabled residents.

Local organizations continue to support these populations with increased ride assistance efforts.
