itrus Transit offers new program for residents 60 and over

The Citrus County Transit's Transportation Disadvantaged Advisory Board has ap-

proved a new option for residents sixty years of age and over. The new program invites

any resident that is age sixty and over to get a free pass to ride the Deviated Fixed Route,

and have a discount on the Para Transit service. This opportunity is not income based and

residents will need to show proof of age for the bus pass to be issued. Passes and applica-

tions are available at the Citrus County Transit Center, located at 1300 S. Lecanto Hwy. For

more information, call our office at 352-527-7630.
