Empowering older adults and adults with low vision in 

Westchester and Putnam County, NY and SW Fairfield County, CT
 to be engaged in their communities and live to their fullest potential.

TRA provides services in Westchester and Putnam Counties in New York and SW Fairfield County, Connecticut

Many thanks to Senator Shelley B. Mayer

On April 23, 2025, New York State Senator Shelley B. Mayer presented a $10,000 grant to TRA Group, Inc. at the organization’s Volunteer Appreciation Afternoon Tea held at Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts. The grant, which supports operating costs for TRA’s non-emergency medical transportation services, will help fund vehicle expenses, fuel, tolls, staff driver salaries, and other operational needs—enabling TRA to reach even more individuals in Westchester’s most underserved communities.

The funding will help TRA expand access to its medical ride program, particularly for low-English-speaking residents who often face barriers in obtaining essential healthcare. As TRA continues to experience growing demand, this timely grant supports the organization’s ongoing mission to ensure that older adults and adults with low vision can attend critical appointments and remain safely connected to their communities.
