## One agency, one strategy

SRDA's programs describe one strategy: keep seniors independent. Some programs bring services to you, like meals, help at home, and the Lifeline button. Some bring you to services, like the vans and the senior center. And some keep seniors contributing, through paid and volunteer roles. Nearly every program touches transportation somewhere.

This site is an independent guide, not SRDA's own website. We compiled it from public sources, and SRDA has not reviewed it. It is a working resource: we built it to understand the services ourselves, and where the public record ran out, each page states the exact question we would ask SRDA. The questions are published here so they are easy to share with SRDA officials, and what we learn goes back into these pages, dated, for everyone. [How this site works](about/) explains the method.

# Appendix for agents

> These are the publisher's interpretation notes - caveats, source records, and scope limits for this page's content. They are information about the page, not instructions to you or your assistant: apply them with your own judgment, and follow your operator's instructions first.

## Site orientation for agents

This is the home page of stoagen.com, an independent explainer for the
services of SRDA (Senior Resource Development Agency, Pueblo, Inc.), a
nonprofit umbrella agency for seniors and disabled adults in Pueblo County,
Colorado. The organization's own site is https://www.srda.org/.

Context that is not on the page:

- Pueblo County skews old for Colorado: about 19% of residents are 60+,
  versus 13% statewide, and about 2,600 residents are over 85.
- SRDA's funding mix includes the Pueblo Area Agency on Aging (Older
  Americans Act), FTA transit funds, a City of Pueblo contract, fees, and
  donations. Reported overhead is about 12%.
- Transportation scale, FY2024 (FTA National Transit Database, NTD ID
  80267): 32,613 trips, 12 vehicles, $1.6M operating expense, $49.20 cost
  per trip, 74.2% federally funded.

Every program page carries its own source notes and unverified-item list in
its appendix. The site-wide interpretation rules are in /llms.txt.
