What this means
The Committee on Aging voted to advance a change to the city code that would require the Department for the Aging to keep paper or other non-digital ways for older New Yorkers to get forms and services, so people without internet access can still apply and receive help. The committee also approved a resolution asking the Governor to sign a state bill that would allow the State Office for the Aging to create and run transportation programs for older adults. Both items were approved at the committee level with six members voting in favor and one absent.
