As a cooperative effort, Bethlehem Senior Services and Bethlehem Senior Projects, Inc. provide transportation for independently living Town residents, age 60 and over, to medical and dental appointments, for therapy, groceries and clinic appointments and to a variety of pre-scheduled social and recreational programs.  Community volunteers assist with van reservations and drive the vehicles.  Currently, the service utilizes eight vehicles; three vehicles are handicapped accessible for "curb to curb" transports.  Call as early as possible after making a medical appointment to arrange transportation. Reservations can be made by calling 439-5770, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Transportation is available Monday through Friday starting at 8:00 a.m.  Residents are encouraged NOT to make appointments after 2:00 p.m.  No fees are charged, but donations are suggested and posted in the vehicles.
