Sudbury Transportation Options
The Sudbury Transportation Committee was formed in September 2018 to research and plan for Sudbury’s transportation needs. The Committee has successfully launched several new transportation services that supplement the ongoing Sudbury Connection van services through the Sudbury Senior Center.
Please Note: Transportation services may change or have limits. Be sure to keep up to date with emails or other communications from the Sudbury Senior Center and/or Sudbury Transportation Committee.
UPDATE 8/15/25
Effective September 1, 2025, the Go Sudbury! Uber and Go Sudbury! Taxi programs will become simply the Go Sudbury! limited ride low cost transportation program. While we are pleased to be able to continue to provide the program, several changes were necessary in order to ensure that we will be able to offer it for many years to come. Please see “Go Sudbury! Program” below for details.
UPDATE 7/14/25
We are pleased to announce the continuation of the Sudbury Catch Connect service for another year (the pilot year was a success!). The program had been offered through June 2025, and will now be extended through June 2026. Sudbury Catch Connect will continue FARE-FREE for the time being.
