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. Stopping driving is one of the hardest decisions for a senior; having transportation lined up before that conversation makes it easier. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
