Type: Senior Transportation
Name: Drive a Senior
Phone: 512.456.826
Website: https://driveasenior.org/
Description:
Drive a Senior was founded on the premise that our senior neighbors lead happier, healthier lives when they "age in place." But how does one continue to live at home without viable transportation?
* Family members may be distant or sometimes are unavailable.
* Public transportation is not designed for individual attention and can require physical stamina some older adults don't possess.
* Taxi service can be costly on a fixed income.
So Drive a Senior matches volunteer drivers with seniors needing a way to get around. Our mission has its roots in a 1985 pilot program that showed a high concentration of people over the age of 60 in West Austin. Today a network of nine regional organizations serves Austin, Elgin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Hutto and Southwest Travis County.
In 2016, our volunteers provided more than 30,000 rides. We currently drive more than 2,500 older citizens. And we see the need continuing to grow for years to come.
