Grant to aid those who can't drive
June 6, 2011
The Atlanta Regional Commission has awarded a $160,716 grant to Gwinnett County Senior Services to help pay for a voucher program for older adults with disabilities or low-income people.
The Gwinnett grant is part of $2.3 million in federal funding the commission is distributing to 10 local agencies. The agencies operate transportation programs or transit routes that serve people who do not drive because of age, disability or because they cannot afford a car.
