Healthy and Independent Senior Citizens - Hartford Dial A Ride coordinates and provides safe and reliable transportation for Hartford's senior residents. The service is funded wholly or in part by the City of Hartford, the Older American's Act through the North Central Area Agency on Aging, and the Connecticut Department of Transportation via a grant from the Greater Hartford Transit District.
Hartford Dial A Ride (DAR) is a service intended to reduce the isolation of seniors and promote independent living. During 25 years of operation the program has delivered more than two million trips. Any Hartford resident who is over 60 or who has a disability is eligible for Dial A Ride. Allowable trip purposes are listed in priority order: medical; food/nutrition; senior center activities; religious activities; and personal trips. Trips are restricted to the City limits, except for medical trips that are allowed on Monday and Wednesday.
If you believe you have been denied service on the basis of age discrimination please call the State Department of Social Services, Elder Rights Office, at (860)424-5274.
