The city has a number of senior-related services to make life a little easier. For example, the Kern County Seniors Law Center offers free legal advice, counseling, and legal representation in areas such as Social Security benefits, consumer issues, and housing issues. For free tax assistance, the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) helps seniors with preparing simple tax returns. The Golden Empire Transit (GET) operates bus routes at a Senior/Reduced Fare discounted pass for those 65 and older. Also, the Consolidated Transportation Service Agency (CTSA) provides low-cost transportation ($2 per one-way trip) service for seniors 60 and older.
