Interior community bulletin boards exist at Borough Hall and at the Co-op, and operate on nearly the same principles as the exterior boards, though the personnel in both locations periodically neaten things up. |

| Shared Ride Transportation Program for Senior Citizens age 65 and older
The Senior Shared Ride Program is a reduced fare transportation program available to riders who are willing to share their trip with other passengers. Persons 65 years of age or older are entitled to receive these trips and pay only 15% of the reduced shared ride fares. Funds from the Pennsylvania Lottery pay for the remaining 85% of trip fares through a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. |
