New Ride Service Offers Transportation for Seniors And the Disabled

Having easy access to affordable transportation is critical to senior citizens and disabled individuals who don't drive.  More than half of all non-drivers age 65 and older and individuals with disabilities are isolated at home largely because travel options are limited, especially in rural and smaller communities.

Senior RideWise is available, by appointment, for rides to the grocery store, hair salon, bank, post office, pharmacy, medical appointments, work, and social/recreational trips.  For an annual membership and discounted cost per mile charge, members can schedule rides with screened, professional drivers who will provide door-to-door service and assistance with packages and mobility devices, if needed.  Rides are paid for using coupons, in lieu of cash, which clients purchase from RideWise.
