ADDITIONAL INFO | Finding Transportation Services for Older Adults https://www.agingcare.com/articles/finding-transportation-services-for-seniors-104572.htm Charities will call these Driver Programs different names. The Salvation Army may refer to them as Share a Ride while a faith-based church often calls them emergency services. Another major contributor to this service tends to be the National Aging Network, and there are offices in most counties that help both the elderly, adults with a handicap, and people with disabilities. While senior citizens are the main focus, others can apply as well. These will be referred to as the Agency on Aging centers. |
