SENIOR CITIZENS 

ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION    (SCAT) 

The City of Allen Park provides Senior Program Members ($9 Annual Fee) with a means of curb to curb transportation on Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  

Our transportation is a way to provide an accessible and affordable means of transportation for seniors who do not drive. 

The Bus/Van travels within a 3 mile radius of the borders of Allen Park for medical, dental, business, banking and shopping needs.  Also, transportation to and from the Community Center is provided.  You must reserve your transportation at least one day in advance.   

Need a ride at the last minute?  We can help with our new "SAME DAY SHUTTLE" service. An increased demand for mobility enabled the City of Allen Park to offer this new "Same Day Shuttle" service Monday through Friday, 9am to 2:30pm.  Last call for pick up will be at 2:30pm.  The cost of this same day service is $3 each way.  Wheelchair access must be requested, availability based on previous reservations. 

For exact fees and schedules call the Senior Office 313-928-0770, Monday thru Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Also NO DRIVE THROUGH STOPS ARE ALLOWED.   

You must have the address of the location you are going to at the time of booking the appointment or it will not be scheduled until you have it. 

Please remember this is a Shuttle Service and trips to the Doctor, Hospital and Regular Dialysis will be given a priority. 

All transportation requests require a minimum of a one hour call in advance.  Also, the service has up to one hour to make a return pick-up.
