Independent Transportation Network — community-based ride service for seniors and visually impaired. Relevant when a senior is missing appointments because transportation is the bottleneck. Most paratransit programs require an application, doctor's note, and a few weeks of advance scheduling for regular rides. Volunteer driver programs are often run by faith-based organizations and are open to seniors of any background. All services free of charge to qualifying seniors and family caregivers.
