Garden Spot Express, Flora's new public transit program, is ready to begin regular trips to neighboring communities as soon as enough volunteer drivers are in place. The program provides door-to-door service for passengers of all ages in Flora and all of Monroe Township.

Program organizers are seeking volunteer drivers. In order to drive for the program, volunteers must have a public chauffeur's license or a CDL. Interested individuals should contact dispatcher Mary Jo Redmon at the Flora Senior Center (574) 967- 3400 or stop by the center located at 115 N. Division St. during business hours, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Garden Spot Express is a donation-based service provided by Area IV Agency on Aging and Community Action Programs in conjunction with the Town of Flora and Monroe Township. The vehicle is wheelchair accessible with a passenger lift. Persons with disabilities are encouraged to use the service.
