The Volunteer Transportation program offers older adults a convenient way to get around using donated rides. This program utilizes a network of volunteer drivers who assist with transportation needs, using their own vehicles to provide rides. There is flexibility in pricing, with suggested donations of $5 for trips within Anoka County and $10 for trips outside of the county. However, it's important to note that a donation is not mandatory to request a ride through this program. To secure a ride, older adults should plan ahead and schedule trips at least a few days in advance. Payments for rides can be made using checks or cash, offering varying options for convenience. The Volunteer Transportation program prioritizes accessibility and affordability, as it is presented as a free transportation service for older adults in need of a reliable means of travel within and beyond Anoka County. Remember to keep the "Rides In Advance" guideline in mind when booking transportation through this beneficial program.
