RESOURCES FOR SENIORS
Senior Hotline
For help with general questions about what stores are open, where to find information, how to get transportation and how to navigate online services call the Senior Hotline at (925) 943-5852 or email cpcc@walnut-creek.org. Calls are answered Monday - Friday between 9am - 1pm, but you can leave a message after hours and your call will be returned.
Senior Transportation Program
The City of Walnut Creek is utilizing the ride sharing app Lyft to expand its transportation services. In addition to the Senior Mini Bus program (which is currently not operating), the Lyft pilot program will provide rides, allowing members the freedom to get where they need to be within the borders of Walnut Creek. Learn more at walnutcreekrec.org or call (925) 256-3533, Monday - Friday from 9am - 1pm.
