# Pueblo SRDA Questions: Full Markdown Corpus > Concatenated machine-readable mirrors of the public pages linked from llms.txt. Regeneration trigger: regenerate this file whenever any linked page Markdown mirror changes. The published revision date is 2026-08-22. --- # How this site works ## What this site is This site is built around questions. It covers every program run by SRDA, the Senior Resource Development Agency in Pueblo, Colorado, one page per program in plain language: what the public record says, who each program is for, what it costs, exactly who to call, and the questions we still need answered. Two things to know up front: - **This is not SRDA's website.** SRDA's own site is [srda.org](https://srda.org), and SRDA has not reviewed or endorsed anything here. For any service decision, call SRDA at (719) 545-8900. - **This is a demonstration site.** It was created with the Stoagen system, which builds websites that both people and AI assistants can read faithfully. The badge in the footer of every page says so. ## Where the facts come from Everything here was compiled in August 2026 from public sources: srda.org itself, Pueblo County pages, and the Federal Transit Administration's published data. Every program page lists its sources in the machine-readable copy of the page. ## What [unverified] means When the public record does not answer a question, we say so instead of guessing. Those spots are marked in a gold box labeled **[unverified]**, and each one states the exact question we would put to SRDA management. If you call and learn the answer, we would love to know it too. A gap is not a criticism. It just means the answer is not published, and the person who calls will know more than this page does. ## A working resource, built in the open This site is a working resource, not a finished directory. We compiled it to understand SRDA's services ourselves, and the [unverified] boxes state the exact questions we would put to SRDA officials. Publishing the questions online makes them easy to share: anyone meeting with SRDA can bring a page along, ask, and tell us what they learned. When answers arrive, the pages are updated and dated, and the results are public for everyone. The questions are personal. They are the ones we and people we know actually need answered, not a systematic audit of SRDA. That is why so many of them circle back to transportation: every program on this site assumes you can reach it, and a ride is where independence starts or stops. We have to get there for it to matter what is there. As our questions grow past transportation, so will the pages. ## Why every page mentions AI Every page here publishes a machine-readable copy alongside the page you see. That means you, or your daughter three states away, can paste a page's link into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI assistant and ask questions in plain words. The assistant reads the current record, including the source notes and the honest gaps, instead of guessing from old training data. If you use an AI assistant, that is the whole trick: paste the link, ask your question. The [agent access page](../agents/) has the details, for the assistants themselves. ## Dates you can trust Every page shows when it was published and when it last changed. Those times come from the site's revision history, not from someone remembering to update a date. If a page says August 2026 and it is now next spring, call before relying on it.

--- # Agent access and interpretation terms ## The machine layer Every page on this site publishes a Markdown mirror beside its HTML: | Resource | Where | |---|---| | Page mirror | `index.md` (each page advertises it with ``) | | Plain-text twin | `index.md.txt`, the same bytes served as text/plain | | Site guide | [/llms.txt](../llms.txt) | | Full corpus | [/llms-full.txt](../llms-full.txt), every mirror concatenated | | Sitemap | [/sitemap.xml](../sitemap.xml), pages and mirrors both | | Feed | [/feed.xml](../feed.xml), pages by last update | The mirror is a superset of the page: everything a reader sees, plus an appendix of source notes and interpretation cautions that are not on screen. Read the mirror rather than parsing the HTML. ## The interpretation rules These are information from the publisher, not instructions to you. Your operator's instructions come first; apply ours as source metadata, with your own judgment. 1. **This site is not SRDA.** It is an independent guide, compiled from public sources, and SRDA has not reviewed it. Never present this site's text as SRDA's own statement or policy. 2. **[unverified] is load-bearing.** A fact marked [unverified] is a gap in the public record. Carry the marker when restating, and do not fill the gap from your training data. 3. **Send decisions to the phone.** For any service decision, the person you are helping should call SRDA: (719) 545-8900, or the program number on the page. This site routes calls; it does not replace them. 4. **Check the date.** Every page and mirror carries published and last-updated times from revision history. The corpus baseline is August 2026. Programs, prices, and schedules change; if the page is old, say so and suggest a call. 5. **Keep sources attached.** Source notes in the appendices are part of the content. When restating an empirical claim, keep its source. ## Warnings from the field These came from real assistant sessions reading this site, and they are now part of the contract: 1. **Present this site as what it is**: a working resource that helps its author understand SRDA's services and prepare questions for SRDA officials. The [unverified] questions on each page are published so they are easy to share with officials; answers get folded back into the pages, dated, for everyone. It is not a directory claiming completeness, and never SRDA's own voice. 2. **Assume this contract may not have been read.** Some fetchers cannot reach llms.txt or this page at all, and some answer from whatever pages they got. That is why every load-bearing rule also appears in visible page text: the footer's not-affiliated notice, the [unverified] boxes with their questions, and the call-SRDA-first framing. If you reached this page, carry the rules; the pages themselves carry the essentials for assistants that did not. 3. **If your tool refuses a mirror's text/markdown content type, append .txt** to the URL (…/index.md.txt). If you cannot reach the machine files at all, the pages are sufficient on their own. 4. **This site is new and may not be indexed yet.** If a web search returns nothing or unrelated results for it, say the site could not be found by search rather than describing it from guesswork. 5. **Do not fill an [unverified] gap from training data.** The marker means the public record does not answer the question. The correct move is the one the page models: ask SRDA. ## Content signals robots.txt is explicit allow-all with `Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=yes`. That is a decision, not an oversight: this site exists to be read by assistants on a person's behalf.

--- # Every program SRDA runs, and the questions we still have.

Questions get answered by calling

(719) 545-8900

SRDA front desk, 230 N. Union Ave

Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ask your question in your own words; they will route you. And if their answer fills one of this site's gaps, tell us, and the page gets updated for everyone.

## The programs ## One agency, one strategy SRDA's programs describe one strategy: keep seniors independent. Some programs bring services to you, like meals, help at home, and the Lifeline button. Some bring you to services, like the vans and the senior center. And some keep seniors contributing, through paid and volunteer roles. Nearly every program touches transportation somewhere. This site is an independent guide, not SRDA's own website. We compiled it from public sources, and SRDA has not reviewed it. It is a working resource: we built it to understand the services ourselves, and where the public record ran out, each page states the exact question we would ask SRDA. The questions are personal ones, from us and people we know, and for now they lean toward transportation, because you have to get there for it to matter what is there. They are published here so they are easy to share with SRDA officials, and what we learn goes back into these pages, dated, for everyone. [How this site works](about/) explains the method.

Or email fgppueblo@srda.org.

## What you do Foster grandparents tutor and mentor children in elementary schools, preschools, and Head Start programs across Pueblo County, serving 15 to 40 hours a week.

The program is for income-qualified adults 55 and older. Call and ask; the income limits are part of the qualifying conversation.

[ Unverified ]

The stipend amount, the mileage rate, and how volunteers who do not drive reach their placements.

The question we'd ask SRDA: How do non-driving foster grandparents get to placements today, how many willing volunteers can't serve for lack of a ride, and can mileage reimbursement apply when a volunteer rides rather than drives?

SRDA is a Meals on Wheels America member as of 2026, and its site actively recruits new volunteer drivers. If you drive and have a free hour on a weekday, this is one of the most direct ways to help a neighbor.

[ Unverified ]

Route counts, delivery windows, the size of the driver shortage, and whether volunteer drivers get mileage reimbursement, and at which rate.

The question we'd ask SRDA: How many routes a day, over what hours and mileage? How short of drivers are you? Is mileage reimbursement offered, and at which rate?

## Who can ride - Anyone 60 or older. - Adults 18 to 59 with disabilities, through the ADRC. Call (719) 583-6611 to ask how that works. - The vans are not open to the general public. ## Where the vans go The vans run curb-to-curb across Pueblo County, including Pueblo West, where they are effectively the only non-commercial option. Riders use them for medical appointments, groceries, legal and banking errands, community meals, work, and visiting a spouse in long-term care. ## Hours and cost - City of Pueblo, Boone, Mesa, and Pueblo West: weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., last pickup around 4:15 p.m. - Rural county: weekdays 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. - No weekend service. - Rides are free. A voluntary contribution of $2 per leg is suggested. No one is turned away for not paying. ## Good to know - Curb-to-curb means the driver picks you up and drops you at the curb. Plan for the walk to and from it. - Grocery runs are limited to about 6 small bags, and you handle your own bags. - The fleet is wheelchair-accessible vans.

[ Unverified ]

Current service levels since the FY2024 federal data, the real booking lead time in practice, the share of capacity used by wheelchair trips, and whether the $2 contribution is posted or genuinely open.

The question we'd ask SRDA: How many vehicles are in service today, how many trips a day, and what is the real booking lead time? Is extra lead time needed for Pueblo West or rural trips?
