Corydon, IN

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2022

Project Category: Public or private transit access

Description: Rural residents in Southern Indiana, especially older adults and people with disabilities, lacked reliable transportation to health care and other essentials. Blue River Services expanded its transit system into Floyd County, hired additional drivers and launched public awareness campaigns. The service now offers door-to-door rides with wheelchair-accessible vehicles and trained staff. This expansion closed a critical gap and secured funding for a new vehicle to sustain service. One rider shared, "I am so very thankful that I now have reliable transportation to and from Baptist Hospital for treatment each week... I would not be able to go places without them!"
