Sages leaders recently met with Sophia Soudani, Field Deputy for County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, to discuss the needs of Topanga seniors, including the limited access to transportation for seniors and disabled in Topanga. Sophia has now informed us that Topanga is once again included in the Cityride Program.
This program will allow Topanga seniors and disabled a reduced fare dial-a-ride trip, permitted taxicabs, and Dash rides. For more information https://www.ladottransit.com/cityride/index.html.
