Sudbury COA transportation liaisons report hospital shuttle, 3,000 Catch Connect trips and $30 emergency voucher proposal
Summary
The COA’s transportation liaison reported on hospital shuttles to Boston-area hospitals, Catch Connect’s roughly 3,000 trips in 2025, Uber voucher usage, and a proposed $30 emergency after-hours ride voucher to serve residents when the senior center is closed.
Mary Brauer, speaking during liaison updates at the Jan. 12 Council on Aging meeting, summarized recent transportation developments affecting Sudbury seniors.
Brauer said the Transportation Committee reviewed services including a hospital shuttle for Boston-area hospitals and Catch Connect, which completed about 3,000 trips in 2025. She said the committee examined Uber voucher usage data and discussed plans for an emergency after-hours ride voucher program (to be used when the senior center and social work office are closed) with a proposed $30 voucher amount.
No formal action was taken; the committee continues to evaluate options to improve access for seniors and will report back as plans move forward.
