Rides

Free rides to the doctor, the store, and back home.

I-RIDE is Senior Services' own door-to-door transportation program for anyone 60 and older in the region, and the way most people first reach one of the other services on this page.

Regular rides are free, though donations are always welcome. Drivers pick riders up and take them almost anywhere within about a 30-minute drive: a medical appointment, a family member's home, the pharmacy, a fitness center, or the grocery store. Vehicles are wheelchair and walker accessible, and a caregiver can ride along at no charge.
