PRISM EXPRESS
Many people in our local community cannot access safe transportation. This need is growing every day and includes senior citizens, disabled individuals, and people without cars. Many individuals aren't able to get to medical appointments, nursing home visits or church activities without relying on friends or family.
PRISM Express offers a well-loved service to area residents with reliable, friendly, curb-to-curb transportation, allowing them to continue to enjoy independent living. Click here to view the PRISM Express brochure.

window, the driver will call you when he is
8-10 minutes away from your home. At that
time, you will need to proceed to the pick-
