Transportation Options for Older Adults

Did you know that there are several free transportation options available to older adults in Cambridge? If you are 60 and older, you can reserve one of the transportation options below.

Council on Aging Shuttle Bus Service

The Council on Aging (COA) has a shuttle bus service that provides round-trip transportation from a resident’s home to the Cambridge Senior Center (806 Massachusetts Ave.)

The accessible shuttle bus picks up residents in the morning and drives them to the Cambridge Senior Center. While there, older adults can participate in recreational activities (painting, Zumba, bingo, and more!), socialize, and enjoy lunch. At 2 p.m., the shuttle bus leaves the Senior Center to bring residents home.

• On Mondays and Wednesdays, the shuttle bus is available to residents who live in Central Square (02139) and East Cambridge (02141)
• On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the shuttle bus is available to residents who live in North Cambridge (02140) and West Cambridge (02138)

To reserve a seat on the shuttle bus, call the Council on Aging’s Transportation Office at 617-349-7254. Please make reservations at least 2 business days in advance. COA staff will share a morning pickup time with residents once reservations are complete.
