The city of Griesheim has officially taken delivery of its new rickshaw. On Friday, February 13, the vehicle was handed over at Fahrrad XXL Franz together with donors. The project is based at the Senior Citizens' Office and is expected to start in April. Initially, the rickshaw will be available to residents of Griesheim's senior care facilities and day care guests. Plans are in place to extend the service to residents with limited mobility who still live in their own homes. Funding through donations: The purchase price of approximately \u20ac12,000 was financed by donations from Sparkasse Darmstadt, a private donor, Friedrich Friedrich Moving Company, KS Office Furniture, and funds from the city of Griesheim. Five volunteers have already been recruited as drivers. Excursions on safe routes: The trained volunteers offer free, approximately one-hour excursions in and around Griesheim. The rides will take place on low-traffic and safe routes. The service is exclusively for recreational purposes and does not include trips to medical appointments or shopping. Two passengers can be carried per trip. The starting and ending points are the same. The service is organized in close coordination with the participating institutions and generally takes place on fixed days of the week. The exact times are determined by the needs of the institutions and the current weather conditions. The institutions handle internal advertising, register suitable passengers, and designate specific contact persons for scheduling. They also assist with boarding and disembarking, as well as with passenger preparation. Safety is the top priority. The volunteer drivers commit to responsible handling of passengers and the vehicle. Special bicycle training is mandatory before the first trip. The rickshaw may not be driven without this training. Seatbelts are mandatory for passengers, and helmets are provided. The rickshaw is checked for roadworthiness before each trip and serviced annually by a specialist dealer. (GRIESHEIM \u2013 RED\/PSG) Featured image: City of Griesheim"}
