Palm Tran also provides transportation for seniors.  Seniors must apply individually to be able to qualify for Palm Tran Connection; and they must also have documentation from a doctor which verifies their disability.  Once they qualify, Palm Tran will pick up door to door.  Seniors without a disability do not qualify for service.
