CORINTH CONTINUES SPAN TRANSPORTATION PARTNERSHIP

Corinth, TX, January 28, 2020 - SPAN is a local Denton nonprofit that provides transportation services to seniors, people with disabilities, and the public throughout the area. With over 35 buses and minivans (all wheel-chair accessible), SPAN exists to meet the needs of community members. 
 
"SPAN has been a great partner to the Lake Cities community, and we are proud to be able to continue providing these services to our residents., " stated City Manager Bob Hart.
 
Through a partnership with Lake Cities, a federal grant was awarded to assist residents with receiving transportation services. Working with the City of Corinth, SPAN is pleased to offer these transportation services to seniors needing transportation for medical treatments, doctor/dentist’s appointments and trips to get prescriptions filled. Residents are also able to go shopping for necessities within the Lake Cities, visit the Lake Dallas Public Library, and attend the Lake Cities Seniors Program. SPAN has recently begun providing daily shared-ride free trips for Denton County Veterans to the Veterans Affairs hospitals in Dallas and Fort Worth.
 
For Denton County Veterans, these rides are free, and for all other seniors, the SPAN transportation services are just $3 a ride.
