<sh>Seniors On-The-Go!

To be eligible for the program, citizens must be 65 or older, live in the county or the City of Fairfax, have a gross annual income of less that $50,000 and $60,000 for a couple. Seniors can apply by going to www.fairfaxcounty.gov/comm/trans/seniors.htm or by calling 703-324-1172. Applications will also be available at several government centers throughout the county but seniors are encouraged to call ahead to be sure.
