How does America’s Volunteer Driver Center work?
America’s Volunteer Driver Center is to volunteer driving what the Red Cross is to blood donation. The Center is a national program developed by ITNAmerica to help meet the mobility needs of America’s aging population. We connect volunteer drivers with local nonprofit and government or municipal transportation services. America’s Volunteer Driver Center is free and easy to use for both volunteers and transportation services.
America’s Volunteer Driver Center is an ITNAmerica program. The national public information campaign to launch America’s Volunteer Driver Center is supported by Congress, and technical support from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The goal of America’s Volunteer Driver Center is to recruit volunteer drivers by changing the way Americans think about and support transportation for older adults and people with mobility challenges. To affect lasting, systemic change, ITNAmerica is honored to work with the Center’s Leadership Roundtable (business and industry, philanthropy, and government at all levels) and Advisory Council .
At a time when so many social connections happen online, volunteer driving is a real-life, person-to-person way to connect with people in your own community and make a difference in their lives. It brings people together across generations and shares the stories of days gone by.
So many older people live alone. So many people with special mobility needs appreciate getting out of their homes and into the community for volunteering, a trip to the doctor, shopping, work, or visiting family.
