Rides in Sight

Transportation · Alaska · Free

Free national transportation database for older adults from ITNAmerica. Relevant when a senior is missing appointments because transportation is the bottleneck. Volunteer driver programs typically need 48 hours' notice and ask for a small donation; many also escort the senior in and out of appointments. Volunteer driver programs are often run by faith-based organizations and are open to seniors of any background. Free of charge — no eligibility paperwork required to call or browse.
