Rides for Elderly and Disabled
Getting old can be tough. Especially when you can’t drive anymore. LaCrosse county aging unit director Noreen Kuroski says getting to the grocery store, the bank or even to visit a spouse in the nursing home can be a challenge. The MTU offers special rates for the elderly and disabled. The county also has a mini bus that picks you up at home and takes you to your destination for a reasonable rate. There is also the the Find a Ride Program where volunteers will give you a lift in their car. Kuroski says they need more of those volunteers.
