The Door To Store program that delivers free rides from some Northwest Jacksonville neighborhoods to grocery stores is ready for expansion into the New Town neighborhood, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority said Thursday. We just need to flip the switch, Jessica Shepler, assistant vice president at JTA, told Jacksonville City Council members.
City Council voted unanimously Tuesday for using $50,000 to continue the Door to Store service as a pilot program for a second year.
But expanding the Door to Store service boundaries still might need another round of approval by City Council. Council member Ron Salem, who convened the meeting Thursday, was joined by Sam Newby and Ju Coby Pittman in voicing support for such legislation if needed.
