Transportation and Community Center Programs Survey

Age Friendly Ridgewood is celebrating its 8th year and, in collaboration with the Village of Ridgewood, thought it was time to check in with residents age 55 and over about the Village’s transportation services and programs for older adults.

We are evaluating the current level of services and determining priorities for expansion if at some point the Village budgets allow. We would appreciate it if you would answer this 12-question survey and provide us with your feedback.

Please fill out the survey based on your own personal experience and usage, rather than what you think should be offered by the Village.

If you have questions about this survey, please contact Age Friendly Ridgewood through email at AgeFriendlyRidgewood@gmail.com or by calling 201-632-1554.
