Thornton Township Senior Transportation provides a vital curb-to-curb service for residents aged 60 and older, helping them maintain their independence and stay connected to the community. Operating Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., this program ensures safe, reliable transportation throughout the township.
In 2023, the Board of Trustees expanded the service to offer greater flexibility, allowing seniors to travel anywhere within township boundaries. This enhancement enables riders to access grocery stores, attend medical appointments including dialysis, and to take care of other essential errands.
Each year, the department facilitates over 40,000 rides for Thornton Township seniors, reflecting a strong commitment to accessibility, mobility, and quality of life.
