In addition to weekday rides to the Stoughton Area Senior Center and in-town shopping, Dane County’s contract with Transit Solutions also includes two scheduled trips to Madison shopping locations each month. The rides go to a variety of malls and shopping centers outside of Stoughton.
Individuals who are Stoughton residents, 60 years or older, and live independently are eligible for this wheelchair equipped transportation service. Unfortunately, per policy, those living in Assisted Livings, CBRFs and RCAC complexes do not qualify.
How it works:
Out-of-town trips take place two Fridays a month to area shopping centers like West Towne, East Towne, Hilldale, Kohl’s, Target, etc. Riders must call by noon the day before. They will be picked up from their home around 9:30 AM and will return around 1:00 PM. Each month’s trip dates and destinations are noted in our newsletter’s activity calendar on p.19. The suggested donation is $3 round trip; no one is denied rides based on ability to pay.
Please note: These trips only take place if at least three people sign up, as the County has a strict three-passenger minimum policy. If there are not enough riders registered, those who have signed up will be informed of trip cancellations the day before the scheduled trip. So…if you plan to go, please tell your friends (who qualify) to register and join you. We would hate for you to miss out on this out-of-town shopping opportunity!
