The Adult Activity Center offers a variety of county programs such as: Energy Assistance, Food Assistance, Senior Companion Program, Seniors Never Alone program, Miami-Dade Transport Golden Passport. Emergency help is available through the Elder help line and the Alliance for Aging. The City also offers a free trolley system to all ages that provides mass transportation throughout the city. This community plans to become more age-friendly by continuing to make the city more walkable and pedestrian-friendly. This encourages active, healthy transportation and social interaction. An example of this is the new improvements have recently been made to Miracle Mile and Giralda Avenue in the City. These recent renovations have made walkways much wider on Miracle Mile, and made a portion of Giralda Avenue a plaza that is only accessible to pedestrians.
