Transportation

COVID-19 update: Assisted rides are currently suspended while the County remains under a shelter-in-place order; we are providing referrals to other transportation services (i.e. Paratransit, etc.) and will resume assisted rides once it is safe to do so.

About the Program

Do you miss doctor’s appointments because you have no way to get there? Do you need help getting to the grocery store and actually getting your shopping done? Or do you need a steady arm, visual guidance, or help filling out forms at the doctor’s office? Our trained, screened volunteers can drive you to your destination, PLUS:

• Push wheelchairs for Paratransit riders
• Provide a steady arm for riders when walking or climbing stairs, or if visually impaired
• Assist with shopping (selecting items from a shelf, pushing cart, carrying packages)
• Provide directional assistance (reading signs, asking for directions)
