Public
Transportation … Within Miami County, Monday through Friday, 6am-6pm, call
the YMCA by 2pm to make a reservation for the next day;
one-way trip fares: $1 per person within Peru city limits;
$3 per person within 10 miles of Peru; $5 per person for the
rest of Miami County. Medical and employment trips receive
priority in scheduling. Riders should be ready 20 minutes
before and after pick-up time. In order to stay on schedule
for all riders we will be unable to wait for a rider. $12
and $24 coupon books are available at the YMCA front desk
for $10 and $20 respectively.
Medicaid Transportation …
For Miami County residents,
within Indiana, Monday through Friday, reservations should
be made two weeks in advance for out-of-county trips and one
week in advance for within the county.
Senior
Transportation … Within Miami County, Monday through Friday, senior citizens
over 60 may call the YMCA by 2pm to make a reservation for
the next day; same day service will be provided as vehicles
are available. Ride to the YMCA, grocery store, beauty
shop, barber shop, visit a friend, or anywhere else in
town. Trips should be scheduled between 9am and 1:30pm, as
medical and employment trips receive priority in
scheduling. As we transport people home from work in the
afternoon, we may be delayed in picking up riders after
2:30pm. Because drivers are not allowed to enter any
building, you must bring someone with you if you need extra
assistance.
Funding for the Senior Transportation program is provided by
Area Five Council on Aging, United Way of Miami County, and
the Miami County YMCA. Senior donations are welcomed and
appreciated.
