SNOW BERM REMOVAL PROGRAM:
The Office of the Highway Superintendent will remove the mound of snow from your driveway within the right of

requires annual re-registration. As of September, applications can be submitted for the upcoming winter storm sea-
son. Applications for this program may be obtained by calling Janet Serrao in the Office of Disability Services at
(631) 351-3068 or by pressing the link below for the paper application: http://www.huntingtonny.gov/filestorage/13749/13861/16626/99666/16688/Snow_Berm_Application_Form2017FINAL.pdf
If you do not fall within the income guidelines and would like to get your snow berm removed/cleaned, please
contact the Human Services office in Town Hall at 631-351-3058 for a list of vendors prior to the snow fall. Office

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Local public transportation is available Monday through Saturday. The Town of Huntington’s HART system (631) 427-8287 and Suffolk County Transit (631) 852-5200 operate a network of regularly scheduled bus routes that serve many of the places seniors might want to travel, including the Senior Center. Buses are handicap accessible. Senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, and Medicare cardholders are eligible to pay reduced fares.
Minibus service is also provided, at somewhat higher fares to persons who are prevented from using the regular buses because of a disability. This paratransit service is operated on a shared-ride, advance-request, curb-to-curb basis by HART (for rides entirely within the Town of Huntington) and Suffolk County’s SCAT program (for rides within Suffolk but not entirely within the Town). Both agencies require prior enrollment by application. Personal travel assistance is limited. HART also extends paratransit service, with reduced priority, to non-disabled senior citizen residents who do not drive and do not have access to regular buses. Paratransit is not offered as a more convenient alternative to regularly scheduled buses. For information, call HART at (631) 427-8287 (TTY: 800-662-1220) and SCAT at (631) 853-8337 (TTY:853-5658). Bus schedules are available at the Senior Center.
