Senior Mobility Program:
The Senior Mobility Program (SMP) offers transportation alternatives for seniors in addition to local fixed-route buses or ADA paratransit (ACCESS) services. Participating cities may receive both funding and vehicles to design a program that best fits the needs of seniors in their communities. Funding for the city participants in the SMP comes from Measure M2, Orange County’s ½-cent sales tax measure. Under the M2 funding umbrella, Project U provides funding for senior/disabled programs including the SMP. One percent of net revenue is allocated to the SMP, and participating cities receive their allocation based on their share of the county’s population of seniors over 60 years of age. Funding for the non-profit participants in the SMP comes from Article 4.5, Claims For Community Transportation Services, of the Transit Development Act (TDA). TDA is funded through ¼-cent of California’s general sales tax and can only be used for public transit purposes.

The meals are designed to include one-third of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA). Menus typically include an entree, two vegetables, bread, desert, milk, and juice. The meals are prepared and served hot from our stainless steel commercial kitchen.
For senior on restricted diets, the meals are low fat, low sodium, and low in sugar. Complex carbohydrates are stressed.

ABRAZAR's drivers always help us get to the appointments on time and are always so polite and helpful. Your Transportation Program is a lifesaver."
