AgeWell Lecture Series discusses on-demand transit in Carpinteria

AgeWell members are invited to attend an informational session about The Wave, a new on-demand transit service introduced by the Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District (MTD), on Thursday, June 26 from 1 to 2:15 p.m. in the Veterans Hall Meeting Room, 941 Walnut Ave. The Wave will provide curb-to-curb rides within Carpinteria for a flat fare.

Riders can book rides via a smartphone app or by calling the transit center. This new service improves local connectivity and reaches previously unserved areas. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer period, and attendees can enroll for senior discounts using the Tap2Ride contactless payment system.
