Shopping Shuttle
For several years, many Island residents have enjoyed the convenient, reliable Shopping Shuttle service offered by Martha’s Vineyard Center for Living. As of July 1, this service is being shifted to and expanded through a partnership between Healthy Aging M.V., the VTA, and your local Councils on Aging, with supporting funding from MassDOT.
As we approach the hectic summer season, consider alternative ways to get around our beautiful Island. Read on to learn more about the new Community Shopping Shuttle and more.
