The Rapid's Senior Mentor program pairs an experienced volunteer with any senior who would like to feel more comfortable using the bus system. The mentor provides all the information, plans the route to a destination of the client's choosing, and goes with the new bus rider. The mentor also gives the participant a free 10-ride fare card to start his or her bus travels.
