That’s thanks to a grant from the Newton Community Foundation Impact Fund, according to Lona Kelly, Department on Aging director. The grant is for Newton residents, and to quality, a household of one can have an income of $17,667 at the most each year, while a household of two is allowed an annual income of $23,803. Fees for OT Cab Company increased from $7.50 to $12 in March, according to information discussed at a county commission meeting at the time.
