Shoshoni Senior Center offers door-to-door transportation service. This is Public Transportation and available to the general public, but seniors 60+ have priority. We offer rides within Shoshoni or from Shoshoni to Riverton, Thermopolis, Lander, or Casper. You can also schedule rides for appointments, shopping, and other errands or activities.
Please be aware of the following:
- Rides must be scheduled in advance. Call the Senior Center to request a ride at least 24 hours in advance. We do NOT provide emergency transport. If it is an emergency, call 911 and not the Senior Center.
- Rides must be scheduled within transportation operating hours, which are 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, except on days the Senior Center is closed. Schedule your appointment or plan your trip so that our driver can return to the Senior Center by 3:00 PM. This is especially important for trips to Casper.
- Rides depend on driver availability. We only have one volunteer driver and cannot accommodate every request. We do not have a driver here at the Senior Center who can drive at any time. Our volunteer driver only comes in for scheduled rides.
- Rides depend on weather conditions. Scheduled rides may be canceled due to unsafe road conditions or other unexpected circumstances.
Call the Senior Center to check availability and schedule a ride.
For now, the Board of Directors reduced fares for van rides. We are in the process of purchasing a 12-Passenger Bus for group trips, and we were awarded a Performance Bonus for ranking 8th among other Wyoming public transportation agencies based on points awarded for meeting transportation program expectations during Fiscal Year 2023!

These roundtrip prices are suggested donations for registered seniors 60+ and the required price for the general public.

We will consider occasional exceptions to the schedule, other ride destinations, and rides requiring pickup in a location other than Shoshoni. We do our best to accommodate those in need of our transportation service, but as a very small nonprofit operation we cannot accommodate every request and must operate according to the requirements of our funding sources and other requirements.
For those with a disability, there is a rural transportation voucher program that might help pay for your transportation needs through Wyoming Services for Independent Living. The program is by self-referral only, so you need to call them (not the Senior Center) to see if you qualify.
