Special Services Bus Program
The Special Services Bus provides low-cost rides to senior citizens ages 60 years and older and all special needs/handicapped individuals residing in the city of Ralston and La Vista. Those that are unable to afford a cab or ride program can utilize this bus to remain as independent as possible and remain in their homes for a longer period of time. The service operates Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
