Senior Center Resources and Public Transit

What Senior Center Resources and Public Transit does

Senior Center Resources and Public Transit (SCRPT) is a 501(c)-equivalent non-profit organization headquartered at 4912 Lee Street in Greenville, Texas, operating continuously since approximately 1974. SCRPT delivers nutrition and supportive aging services to residents of Hunt County, Texas under Title III of the Older Americans Act, in coordination with the Area Agency on Aging. The organization operates two integrated service lines: senior nutrition (congregate meals at five senior centers and home-delivered Meals on Wheels serving approximately 12,000 meals per month across at least 250 days per year) and public transportation via The Connection, a state-designated rural transit district providing demand-response, curb-to-curb service with subsidized fares for seniors, disabled riders, and Medicaid (Title XIX) recipients. Service is delivered across five senior center locations in Greenville, Commerce, Lone Oak, and Wolfe City (plus the Reecy Davis Center), with a Park and Ride shuttle connecting Greenville to the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) station in Rowlett.

The business model is a hybrid of government grant funding, transit fare revenue, and voluntary donations. Primary funding flows from TxDoT-administered State 5311 and Federal 5311 rural transportation funds, Federal 5310 elderly/disabled transportation funds, the North Central Texas Council of Governments Aging Department, local municipalities (Greenville, Commerce, Hunt County), and United Way of Hunt County and United Way of Commerce. Revenue from transit is structured by destination tier: $2 intra-city, $3 intra-county, $34 round-trip to Dallas (minimum three passengers), with seniors aged 60+ riding free to medical, pharmacy, grocery, and senior center destinations, and Same Day Service charged at double the regular fare. Donations are solicited via Square payment links, including the 50th Anniversary campaign, Meals Matter, and Milk Matter programs. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or digital infrastructure; the website (scrpt.org) is brochure-ware with PDF downloads, and service scheduling is conducted by phone (903-454-1444).

Operations are supported by 11-50 paid staff and approximately 100 volunteers, with leadership consisting of Director/CEO Danny Allembaugh and Transit Director Joseph Weeks. The organization relies on referral partnerships with FISH (Hunt County Shared Ministries), WIN (Women in Need), and United Way, and is anchored by its regulatory designation as a Texas rural transit district, which provides an exclusive service territory in Hunt County. SCRPT is not a venture-backed or PE-relevant entity: it is a community-rooted, grant-dependent non-profit with a 50-year operating history and modest but steady service-line expansion, including the 2024 launch of Same Day Service and the addition of Reecy Davis Center programming.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Charities Dallas: Large regional non-profit delivering a broad portfolio of social services including senior programs, food assistance, and case management across North Texas. Comparable non-profit service delivery model and overlapping customer base (low-income seniors), though at much greater scale and with broader mission.
• Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART): Large urban transit authority serving the Dallas metro and the Park-and-Ride partner at the Rowlett station served by SCRPT's shuttle. Comparable core business of public transit but at vastly larger scale and urban-only orientation; relevant as a downstream partner and potential competitive pressure for Medicaid NEMT and senior transit riders.

Direct peers

• East Texas Council of Governments (ETCOG): Regional planning body and Area Agency on Aging operating rural public transit (5311) and senior nutrition/services programs across East Texas counties. Directly comparable operating model combining senior services with rural transit under similar federal/state funding frameworks.
• Area Agency on Aging of North Central Texas: NCTCOG's Aging Department is the direct upstream funder/partner for SCRPT's Title III nutrition services. Operates comparable senior service programs across the broader North Central Texas region, including information/referral, benefits counseling, and congregate meals.
• Texoma Council of Governments: Adjacent Council of Governments in North Texas providing rural transit, aging services, and Meals on Wheels-style programs in a geography neighboring Hunt County. Operates under the same TxDoT/NCTCOG regional funding umbrella.
• Meals on Wheels of Tarrant County: Large North Texas Meals on Wheels affiliate delivering home-delivered meals to homebound seniors with volunteer support. Directly comparable nutrition service line and volunteer-driven operating model, though at substantially greater urban scale.
• Deep East Texas Council of Governments (DETCOG): Regional council operating rural transit district (GoBus) and senior nutrition services across East Texas counties. Near-identical service mix (meals, transit, case management) and funding structure as SCRPT, making it a high-relevance comparable.
• Ark-Tex Council of Governments (ATCOG): Northeast Texas Council of Governments providing rural public transit and senior services through similar 5310/5311 grant mechanisms. Comparable scale, geography, and integrated service offering.

Emerging players

• Community Council of Greater Dallas: Non-profit providing aging services, benefits counseling, and case management for seniors in the DFW region. Comparable service mix (information/referral, benefits counseling, aging-in-place support) and overlapping geographic demand, though operating at larger metropolitan scale.
• Visiting Nurse Association of Texas (VNA Texas): North Texas-based non-profit providing in-home health and supportive services to seniors. Comparable mission (aging-in-place, home-based support) and partially overlapping services (case management, referrals), though with a more clinical orientation than SCRPT's social-services focus.
