Barbara Lisk and George Stephenson 

Members of Oswego County Visually Impaired,enjoy the independence of taking the Call-N-Ride Transportation and OPT (Oswego County Public Transit) fixed-flex Service of O.C.O. Transportation. Since they are no longer able to drive due to their vision loss, they can still have the satisfaction of planning their own schedules to get to meetings, barbers, doctors' offices, visits to friends, lunch or shopping and other life activities. This opportunity enhances their lives and keeps them active in our community.
