Our program is volunteer driven. Provide one-on-one transportation to folks that need extra support.
Volunteer Assisted Transportation is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven program working to ensure that everyone can find a best option for getting around their community, no matter age or ability. No one should get sick or go hungry because they have barriers to independent travel. We provide door-through-door transportation for seniors and people with disabilities who require assistance for travel to medical appointments, errands, and other fun activities!
