Free ride is over for seniors in Northumberland County

Seniors face fare, aging office says

By Rob Scott

Her friend, Vickie Mero, 64, said she also will probably still ride, but it will depend on the prices.

"How else would we get to the (senior) center?" she asked.

Mero said she has a caregiver, but that person is unable to go every day with her. That's when she relies on the county van.

Rumberger said she plans to present the agency's proposal to county commissioners at their meeting at 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Commissioners said they had no comment because they haven't seen the agency's proposal yet.
