Transit System expands service with new vans

The arrival of two new handicap-accessible vans will allow the Seminole Nation to better serve the transportation needs of the community.

Beginning Wednesday, June 11, 2008 the vans will be available to transport handicapped, disabled and elderly citizens, both native and non-native, of Seminole County.

Coordinator Tim Harjo is optimistic about the new upgrade to the Transit System, citing that the vans will be beneficial to those who need to get to the health clinic and pick up prescriptions. The vans will also be able to transport handicapped, disabled and elderly citizens to the grocery store and a variety of other places.

Those wishing to utilize the new transit van service are asked to contact the Transit Department 24 hours in advance so that they may make the proper arrangements. They also request clear directions to residential areas, so that they will know whom they need to pick up and the proper location to do so.
