Hilltown CDC Expands Rural Transportation Services to Reach All in Need

The Hilltown Community Development Corporation (Hilltown CDC) is expanding its transportation services to better serve rural communities in Western Massachusetts. Initially focused on residents aged 60 and over, the program will now provide transportation to all in need, including low-income residents, individuals with disabilities, and those without personal vehicles. This expansion is made possible by a $50,000 grant from Transportation for Massachusetts and the donation of a disability-friendly van from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Hilltown CDC’s services include wheelchair-accessible vans and a driver pool program where certified drivers use personal vehicles to transport others in exchange for reimbursement.
