Rides for seniors and disabled riders
SRDA vans give curb-to-curb rides across Pueblo County, including Pueblo West. In person in August 2026 we were told rides are to medical appointments only, booked at least five business days ahead. The published record had described a wider service; see the answered question on this page.

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. In person on August 26, 2026 we were told the vans take riders to medical appointments only. SRDA's published pages had described a wider service, covering groceries, errands, community meals, work, and visits to a spouse in long-term care; if you need one of those trips, call dispatch and ask rather than assuming either way.

The real booking lead time, and what trips the vans actually make.
The question we'd ask SRDA: What is the real booking lead time, and what trips do the vans take today?
What we were told: Rides are to medical appointments only, and you must schedule at least five business days ahead. Told in person at SRDA, August 26, 2026.
[ Open question ]
Still open after the first visit: today's fleet and volume, and what happened to the wider service the published pages describe.
The question we'd ask SRDA: How many vehicles are in service and how many trips a day? Did grocery and errand rides end for good, or only until capacity recovers? What share of capacity is wheelchair trips, and is the $2 contribution posted or genuinely voluntary?
