ATTENTION ALL ROVER RIDERS
There were some changes to your Rover rides which
began on July 1, 2010. All Aging Shared Rides sponsored by The Department
of Aging have been increased to $1.00 each way, from the old rate
of $.75 each way.
Some of the trips previously sponsored by the Dept. of Aging have
been eliminated.
These changes are listed below. If you use Rover for
one of the trips that have been eliminated, it will now cost you
more. You can get the new rate by calling Rover at (610) 869-8069.

Dear

Chester
County Rover (Paratransit) plays an important part in the lives
of some of our participants.
The
procedure for scheduling Rover (Paratransit) transportation to and
from the Center is listed below:
The
Center will
automatically arrange Rover (Paratransit) transportation for everyone
who puts a checkmark or a "T"
in front of his/her name in the Rover column on the daily lunch
sign-up sheets. Otherwise, you must call the Center at least two
days in advance before 10 AM to arrange for Rover (Paratransit)
transportation. Telephone numbers and times are listed below:

Changes/Cancellations
In
case of an emergency, please contact the Center, at the telephone
numbers listed above, as soon as possible.
If
you are not picked up
Call
the Center (610-932-5244) so we can verify that you were scheduled
for pick up. We will contact Rover (Paratransit).
With
the scheduling and transporting the volume of people that Rover

occur. We sincerely hope that the above stated procedures will
allow for smooth arrangements for all of our Rover (Paratransit)
