Vallone Welcomes Queens Seniors to Use
Free Transportation Program!
[1][senior-2.jpg]
Council Member Paul A. Vallone is proud to announce that the free senior
transportation program expanded and kicked off once again on Oct. 10.
Vallone is proud to have nearly quadrupled the amount of funding for this
successful program since 2017, when he allocated $40,000 to pilot the
program.
To make an appointment, seniors can call the Selfhelp Clearview Senior
Center at 718-224-7888 between the hours of 9 a.m. and noon to schedule
their next-day rides. Those who use the service will need to fill out a
basic application with demographic information and an emergency contact and
provide their destination. When ready for pickup, the senior will call
again for their return trip.
Selfhelp Community Services will work in partnership with Four Twos and
Central Car Service to schedule rides. The program will operate until the
funds are depleted.
“I’m excited to announce the awaited return of our Free Senior
Transportation Program, which will kick off again on Thursday, Oct. 10,”
said Council Member Paul Vallone. “Since we began the program four years
ago, thousands of rides to and from important medical appointments have
been provided to our borough's seniors — at no cost to them. In just a few
years, we’ve been able to nearly quadruple funding amounts for the program,
enabling us to provide this vital service to seniors throughout Queens. I
thank Speaker Johnson, Queens Borough President Katz and the Queens
Delegation for their support and Selfhelp Community Services for always
being an outstanding community partner.”

"Queens Councilman honors Astoria resident for contributions to
Italian-American community"
"A Queens councilman recognized a longtime Astoria resident for his
significant contributions to the Italian-American community.
On Oct. 10, City Hall played host to “A Celebration of Italian Heritage” in
observance of National Italian American Heritage Month, sponsored by
Councilman Paul Vallone.
The councilman issued a New York City Council proclamation to Joseph
DiPietro, president of the Federation of Italian American Organizations of
Queens (FIAO), for his “outstanding character and service to the
community.”
The celebration included remarks from the Honorable Francesco Genuardi,
Consul General of Italy in New York. LaGuardia Arts High School student
Victoria Pinto performed the American and Italian National Anthems while
students from the Landrum School of Performing Arts prepared a dance
performance.
“For centuries, Italian Americans have helped shape the course of our
nation’s history,” said Vallone. “I’m proud to sponsor the Italian Heritage
Celebration at City Hall and recognize outstanding Italian Americans like
Joe DiPietro for their immeasurable contributions to the borough of Queens
and the city of New York! For decades, Joe has been an extremely active
member of the Astoria and Queens community and he’s one of the best people
to ever be recognized by the Council.”
