Great Barrington, Mass. — With a $12,000 grant from the Southern Berkshire Rural Health Network, the TriTown Connector is expanding with new "OWL" late night summer service, starting June 20 and running through Aug. 31.

 

The expanded hours are intended to provide transportation for seniors and persons with disabilities who need to return home from the Fairview Hospital emergency room in the evenings, and to provide transportation for late shift employees at area healthcare facilities, including Fairview and a number of nursing homes.

 

The late night OWL service will also be open to everyone, including anyone coming home late from a night out, or service and hospitality industry workers coming home from night shifts.

 

As a reminder, all veterans ride free this summer, due to a grant from the American Public Transportation Association.
