✦ Plain-Language Summary

This resolution calls on New York State lawmakers to pass a bill that would allow the State Office for the Aging to create and run transportation programs for older adults. Better transportation options would help seniors across NYC get to medical appointments, grocery stores, and other essential destinations. The NYC Council is urging Albany to act, but the final decision rests with state legislators and the Governor.
