Facing a 20% fare increase, the Office of Aging wants to drop shared-ride bus service for people aged 60 to 65, saving about $65,000 a year.

The board renewed a wide network of services for older residents: in-home care, senior center meals (with a 3.9% rate increase), emergency response devices, and farmers' market nutrition vouchers — nearly all paid for with state money.
