Grant proposal aims to enhance male mobility and senior transport services

The Geary County meeting held on July 14, 2025, focused on enhancing transportation services for seniors and disabled residents. A key discussion point was a proposal to improve the efficiency and service area of the "Males on Wheels" program, which provides essential transportation services.

The meeting highlighted the need for financial support to secure a grant from Wells Fargo aimed at purchasing route optimization and dispatching services. This initiative is expected to streamline operations and expand the reach of transportation services for those in need.

Officials expressed the importance of community support in this endeavor, with a request for letters of support to accompany the grant application. The outcome of this initiative could significantly impact the quality of life for seniors and disabled individuals in Geary County, ensuring they have better access to transportation options.

As the county moves forward, the focus will remain on securing the necessary funding and community backing to enhance these vital services.
