  2. For over 50 years, porter county aging and community services has been providing a relatively low cost demand response transportation service for the citizens of porter county. These services are open to the public and door to door, meaning clients can be picked up at their homes, dropped off at their desired destination and returned to their homes. We serve senior citizens and people with disabilities by providing door-to-door transportation. This enables them to have a more productive, independent, healthier and happier lifestyle. They rely on us to get them to life-sustaining dialysis treatments, doctor appointments, trips to the bank, grocery store, work, etc. Without our vans, many local seniors would go without necessary medical treatment. Others would go without groceries and many people with disabilities would not be able to sustain employment. Our transportation services are often the direct link between this population and the ability to be healthy, independent and productive citizens.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
