A partnership with the MedCarry Volunteer Transportation program supplements New Freedom to help address additional demand.
Because these federal funds are limited, program participation is limited to not more than two round trip rides per month. New Freedom is funded through a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant to serve all twelve counties in Bay Transit’s service area. Katherine Newman, Bay Transit’s New Freedom Program Manager, has been managing Bay Transit’s New Freedom program since 2013 and is a passionate advocate for program participants. For round trip journeys greater than fifty miles the fare is only ten dollars. For round trips of fifty miles or less, there is a five-dollar fare. Participants pay a nominal fee for each round trip.
New Freedom is a transportation service providing seniors and individuals with disabilities the ability to attend medical appointments, shop, work and attend social and recreational events even for travel outside of Bay Transit’s service area and/or service hours. Demand Surges for Bay Transit’s New Freedom Program Services
