Colonie officials explain decision to fund new ride program

The new program the Town of Colonie is offering to seniors, called GoGo Grandparent Colonie, or GoGo Colonie, is funded by the town through a $50,000 contract. The new service comes after the town pulled $235,000 from the nonprofit Colonie Senior Service Centers' transportation program. Town Supervisor Peter Crummey says the money will be re-invested to support many services for seniors, not just transportation, and the new program has the town's full support.
