Volunteer Assisted Transportation is a community service program that offers transportation assistance to older adults who may have difficulty getting around. This program operates through the generous support of volunteers and accepts donations to help cover operational costs. In order to utilize this service, older adults are required to pay a nominal membership fee on an annual basis. Rides through Volunteer Assisted Transportation are offered at a flat fee ranging from $3 to $5 per round trip, providing an affordable option for those in need of transportation. Riders are encouraged to schedule their trips in advance, typically requiring a few days' notice to ensure availability. Payment for rides can be made by cash or check, offering flexibility for older adults with diverse payment preferences. The program employs a curb-to-curb transportation service, meaning that older adults will be picked up and dropped off directly at their desired locations. Additionally, Volunteer Assisted Transportation offers shared rides to promote a sense of community among riders. By providing a safe and reliable mode of transportation, this program aims to enhance the mobility and independence of older adults within the community.
