Mayor announces transportation service to Everett Target for older adults and persons with disabilities

Rides will be provided weekly on Mondays for those who make a reservation in advance

Special to The Advocate

Mayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that through a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), Door2Door Transportation is piloting a shuttle service to Target at Gateway Center weekly on Mondays. Older adults and persons with disabilities who reside in Everett are invited to try out this new service.  The Target shuttle will take up to 10 people to the store by picking up between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. and arriving by 11:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The van will return at 1 p.m. to return folks to their homes. Shoppers can bring three bags, boxes or other items each. Drivers will assist riders with their purchases to the door of their building.

Riders may call the reservations department at 617-625-1191 and press 2 for reservations between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays excluding holidays. Rides may be booked two weeks to two business days in advance on a first-come, first-served basis.

Door2Door Transportation asks riders to please be patient as they work through the kinks that are bound to arise in a new service.
