New Vans

Exciting news! As part of Gahanna’s continued efforts to improve Senior Center offerings, we have been working to replace our current 15 passenger vans. The 2025 budget includes money for a replacement of the other van, and that van will be available in 6-8 months. In the meantime, staff will finish training and get the new van in rotation for trips. Vans will be assigned on a lottery system for all upcoming trips.
