Madison Senior Center 'Dial-A-Ride' Returns

MADISON, CT — For seniors in town who previously relied on this important service, the news is good.

After being scuttled due to the pandemic, the Madison Senior Center has resumed the popular dial-a-ride program, albeit in a limited capacity.

The service will run Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will only be one passenger on the bus at a time and the driver will disinfect the bus between passengers. COVID-19 mitigation guidelines are in place and properly worn masks are required at all times while on the bus.

Dial-a-ride is booking medical appointments as well as trips to the Madison Stop & Shop. Priority will be given to folks for COVID vaccinations.

The Senior Center notes that, "in the unlikely event that your appointment needs to be moved to another time, we'll contact you ASAP."
