Riders can access transportation via taxis, cars, vans, buses, or trains, ensuring a range of choices to suit their needs.

The Volunteer Driver Program prioritizes rider comfort and convenience by providing door-to-door, curb-to-curb, and even paratransit services to accommodate individuals with varying mobility levels. Service animals are welcome, and the program goes the extra mile by assisting riders with packages or bags and offering wait time for errands or appointments. With a focus on affordability, accessibility, and reliability, the Volunteer Driver Program is a valuable resource for older adults seeking dependable transportation options.
