STC helps to make Cleveland “age-friendly”

The City of Cleveland became “age-friendly” in 2014. This recognizes the city’s efforts to have services and features older adults need to thrive here, safely and independently. Enrique Correa from Cleveland’s TV20 public access channel visited STC to learn more about what we do to make Cleveland a better place for its older residents. Watch our segment here.

STC Plus, the new evening and weekend Senior Transportation Connection service, booked its first passengers in April. It offers seniors who live in Cuyahoga County new, accessible transportation possibilities at different times and to different places. Executive Director Janice Dzigiel explained that “Our goal is to help people connect to social, recreational and worship opportunities. We encourage people to consider group outings to a movie and dinner, or perhaps a play or shopping. We look forward to exploring new activities and locations with our passengers.” Individuals can contact STC directly to arrange for a vehicle that meets their mobility needs, operated by a trained driver. Call today to find out how STC Plus can drive your social life. Learn more here.

Our very first STC Plus passenger had a practical reason for calling. Joanne Holchin was reluctant to reschedule a late afternoon physician appointment. She knew it would not be finished in time, so she arranged for STC Plus to bring her home. “I am looking forward to all the places where I now can go,” Joanne said.

STC Plus took Linda Bokan and her son Michael to St. Richard’s Church on Easter morning. Linda is a long-time rider who enjoyed attending this special day with her son. They’ve already booked their next outing.
