Senior Transportation Department

The Thornton Township Senior Transportation Program operates a curb-to-curb service for township seniors age 60 and older. Our service complies with all American With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

Service is available from 8:00 a.m. to 6:15 p.m., Monday - Friday to any point within the township and designated medical facilities only. Appointments are made on a first call, first serve basis. Medical appointments are given priority status. Residents are asked to call the township dispatch office with any changes to your appointment.

Suggested donation for each one-way ride is $1.00. An Exact Fare Only Policy is also in place to avoid the bus drivers from having to handle money on the busses. To schedule a ride, call 708-339-9980. For further information on the program, call 708-596-6040, Ext. 3131.
