A Testimonial:
Tuolumne County Transit
To the Editor:
I found gold in Sonora. Not the gold you may be thinking about, but just as precious. It is a service called “Dial A Ride.” My 91-year-old mother broke her ankle and I would not have been able to get her to the many doctors appointments and physical therapy if it weren’t for this service.
We called “Dial A Ride” and for a nominal fee they picked my mother and I up at our home. The drivers were able to lift her wheelchair into their bus. All the drivers and schedulers were kind and helpful. We saw many people that were elderly, who could not drive or just needed extra help like my mother.
I would publicly like to thank “Dial A Ride” for this helpful service, and inform others who may need this service that it is available here in Sonora through the Tuolumne County Transit.
