Getting from here to there is a lot easier for senior citizens of Canal Winchester and Lithopolis with a free transportation service to doctor appointments, the grocery store and more in Franklin and Fairfield counties.
In 2022, Canal Winchester Human Services received funding from the village of Lithopolis to expand services to Lithopolis residents.
The program accommodates medical appointments anywhere in Franklin County and 20 miles into Fairfield County. Non-medical appointments must be within 10 miles or less of 80 Covenant Way, Canal Winchester. On average, senior transportation currently provides 355 one-way trips per month. Medical appointments take priority.
Twice a week, a group grocery trip alternating between Meijer, Walmart, Aldi, and Kroger is provided. Monthly group trips include an Out to Lunch Bunch and fun trips to various places, all of which help keep seniors sociable and less isolated throughout the year.
Participants must be age 60 or older and a permanent resident in the Canal Winchester School District or village of Lithopolis. The senior transportation program started in the early 2000s and is a partnership between Canal Winchester Human Services and the city.
