Washington, DC
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2024
Project Category: Expansion and enhancement of transportation options
Description: Limited transportation left many older adults in Washington DC's Ward 5 isolated and unable to reach essential services or the Senior Wellness Center. Seabury expanded shuttle service from two to three days weekly, giving 55 riders reliable access to wellness programs, grocery trips and social outings. Volunteers assisted with mobility needs, creating a safe, welcoming experience. Riders called the shuttle "a lifesaver," noting it helped them meet people and stay active. The model is prompting plans for sustainable expansion and partnerships, ensuring more older adults can maintain independence and combat isolation.
