The City of Longmont has committed more than $45,000 to help residents in need get to and from the grocery store. More than $45,000 of the city council's contingency fund has been committed to helping fund twice-monthly rides to the grocery store for many living in Longmont Housing Authority units.
The rides, which take place every other two weeks, will be offered to seniors and those with disabilities who live in LHA homes.
"When you look at affordable housing, a lot of folks don't have cars or transportation. And we really wanted to create more engagement with the community and give them opportunities to do what we all do on a daily basis," said Harold Dominguez, Longmont city manager. "(Studies showed) transportation was a significant issue for older adults and our disabled population."
