Call-n-Ride Taxi Program is Offering Delivery Services

Local taxi companies are delivering groceries and food to residents who are a part of the Call-n-Ride program, according to a statement from Montgomery County. 

Taxis will provide contactless delivery of essentials from grocery stores, food banks and restaurants to low-income senior citizens and residents with disabilities who are a part of the program. Goods will be left at the door with a confirmation phone call. 

The Call-n-Ride program offers subsidized taxi service for low-income seniors and those with disabilities.
