Transportation Services

The Trumbull Senior Center provides transportation to Trumbull residents, age 60 and over and/or age 55-59 and disabled. We require 2 business days in advance to book all rides. 

How to Ride

All riders must be independent; caregivers are welcome to accompany riders. All buses are equipped with a wheelchair lift. Service animals and assistive devices welcome. Please be aware that the senior center does not provide assistance to and from the vehicle. All reservations must be made 2 business days in advance.

Riders must submit an application (Trumbull Senior Center Transportation Application (PDF)), and be approved to participate in our transportation program. Once approved, passengers are registered with the service for two years but must maintain a senior center membership. If staff determines that transportation is not appropriate, the resident is referred to alternative transportation.

Donations are always welcome and can be mailed to: the Trumbull Senior Center, 23 Priscilla Place, Trumbull, CT  06611.
