Fresno EOC Transit Systems rolled out the shuttle service on Friday, July 1, from the mobile home park as well as two other sites, including the Veterans Home of California and the Fresno County island of West Park. The service is free to residents, runs six days a week, and is possible through a partnership with the City of Fresno.
Fresno EOC Transit Systems has been working with residents in all three communities to learn about their needs. Program Director Thomas Dulin said, “We have been coming out here for months talking to residents and hearing about their challenges. For example, we learned the nearest grocery store is about a mile away, which can be tough for someone who is a little older or disabled and walking with bags of food. We are excited to see this project come to fruition and help community members access basic services, medical services, and other amenities.”
The shuttle will connect residents to destinations such as Vallarta Supermarket at Clinton and Weber, Walmart on Shaw and Brawley, The Marketplace at El Paseo, Courthouse Park Transit Center, FoodMaxx, Fashion Fair Mall, and Manchester Transit Center.
