MY PLATE FOR OLDER ADULTS
Over the past century, deficiencies of essential nutrients
have dramatically decreased, many infectious diseases
have been conquered, and the majority of the U.S.
population can now anticipate a long and productive
life. At the same time, rates of chronic diseases—many
of which are related to poor quality diet and physical
inactivity—have
increased.
The 2015-2020 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans
reflects this evidence
through its recommen-
dations.

IN SNOQUALMIE VALLEY?
SVT can get you there!
SVT offers three types of service

Call in advance to book your ride at 425-888-7001. This
service takes people from door -to -door within North Bend,
Snoqualmie, Fall City and parts of Preston for $1.
M-F from 6:00AM - 7:30PM. Open to the general public.
Valley Shu"le
Catch the Valley Shu'le at one of the many Metro bus stops
and you can get between points in North Bend and Duvall

A ‘NEW & IMPROVED’ SVT
November of 2017, brings a new loop route connec!ng
Historic Downtown Snoqualmie to Snoqualmie Ridge
residents and the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital. More riders
will be served in a safe, affordable and convenient way.
The second service will begin in early 2018, with door-to-
door service in Carna!on, Duvall, and Monroe. The
Monroe, Duvall area has been lacking in these services
since 2012, and this reinstatement of SVT services is
eagerly an!cipated.
A survey recently generated by the Snoqualmie Valley
Transporta!on Coali!on and mailed to Snoqualmie Valley
residents asked the ques!on; “What is your wish for
transporta!on in the Snoqualmie Valley?” The responses
will help create a transit plan for the whole Valley;
something that has long been needed.
As SVT steps closer to the SVT Vision: “Everyone in the
Snoqualmie Valley can reach their des!na!on using
transit” and the SVT Mission: “To be an integral part of a
strategic plan for sustainable, safe, affordable and
convenient transit in the Snoqualmie Valley.”
If you have never used the bus, give it a try, SVT staff can
help get you where you need to go!
DRIVE A SENIOR TO THEIR
NEXT MEDICAL APPOINTMENT
Transporta!on is one of the top problems facing King
County seniors. More and more seniors are turning to the
Volunteer Transporta!on Program for help.
Volunteer Drivers:
· Provide rides using their own vehicles
· Choose the !mes, days and areas they wish to drive
· Receive reimbursement for mileage and parking
costs
· Receive supplemental liability insurance at no cost
· Do no heavy li(ing or bearing of weight
These volunteer drivers provide not only a ride but act as
an escort as well. Their dedica!on and compassion have
created a program that’s out of this world. Clients don’t
know what they would do without the help.
Contact SVT at 425-888-7001 for more informa!on.
