Our Mission

Give a ride, make a difference, and enjoy the journey

Does someone you know or love struggle to find transportation? They are not alone. Across America, millions of older adults who limit or stop driving outlive their decision by an average of 10 years and find themselves stranded. Sometimes they drive when it isn’t safe because they feel they have no choice. You can help by volunteering to drive right in your local community. It’s easy to do and a memorable, personal experience. Every ride makes a difference.

What is it like to be a volunteer driver? 

  • It’s Fun! What a treat it is to make someone happy just by arriving at their door. People who need a ride are always so happy to see you. It’s not like driving a taxi, or working for Uber or Lyft. It’s like driving a member of your family. You hear stories, you see family photos, you exchange recipes, you eat brownies. Chances are you will keep coming back for more!
  • America’s population is aging. Most older Americans rely on the private automobile for transportation. This dependence poses serious safety and mobility risks for older drivers who outlive their decision to stop driving by more than a decade. At the same time, three-out-of-four older adults live in communities with little or no public transportation. Older adults who continue to drive when they shouldn’t have a dangerously high fatal crash rate. 
  • When you volunteer to drive older adults in your community, you help them stay connected to life’s necessities—healthcare, nutrition, socialization, and all that makes life worth living.
