Golden Wheels provides daily transportation for seniors, ages 62+, and disabled adults. The transportation provided to seniors includes trips to the grocery shopping, pharmacy visits, and additional personal transportation needs within City limits. Through the generous grant Measure I funding provided by OmniTrans, the City has purchased one (1) van for senior transportation.
The Golden Wheels program membership fee includes unlimited rides for those traveling within the City of Yucaipa boundaries for the calendar year (January – December). Renewals and new rider applications for the 2026 Golden Wheels Membership are currently being accepted at the Scherer Community Center.
The Golden Wheels staff accepts calls from the Scherer Community Center, during the facility’s operating hours, at 909-797-1177 ext. 480. The Golden Wheels staff can also be reached via email at goldenwheels@yucaipa.gov. Senior riders must contact the Golden Wheels program staff at least 48 hours in advance to arrange for transportation. Requests are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Riders must be prepared to notify the staff of the rider’s name(s), and address(es) of destination(s). Additionally, state if they are a new rider to the Golden Wheels program, as a waiver is required before the rider’s first trip. While the Golden Wheels program offers curb-to-curb service, riders must meet the vehicle at the curb within five (5) minutes of the van’s arrival.
