CHEER Fights For You


 

CHEER's transportation service opens door for seniors in Sussex County - allowing them a degree of mobility and independence that would be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to obtain otherwise.

To help preserve this service, CHEER testified at DelDot's Joint Finance Committee hearing in Dover recently. The hearing is part of the state's yearly budget process. Read full story here.

Sussex County is the largest county east of the Mississippi River and has a population of more than 180,000 people. Three quarters of them are over 65 years old. If you are in need of transportation around Sussex County and points beyond, the Sussex Mobility Consortium is the answer. Call Thomas McClain at 302-856-5181.
