Call-A-Ride Seeks Volunteers for Free Transportation Service

In Greenwich, the nonprofit Call-A-Ride, founded in 1975, has provided FREE transportation in town for residents older than 60.  You’ve likely seen their three Camrys cruising around town with the Call-A-Ride logo affixed to the roof.

Riders often express their heartfelt gratitude for being picked up and dropped off promptly on time for doctor appointments, grocery store runs, bank visits and errands.

Unfortunately, there are times when potential riders are being turned away when there aren’t enough volunteer drivers, so Call-A-Ride is putting out a plea for drivers to consider signing up to drive for a morning or afternoon shift, Monday-Friday.

Morning shifts run from 8:30am-12:15pm, and afternoon shifts are from 12:15pm-4:00pm.  Some drivers have regularly committed weekly shifts while others are available on a substitute basis.  Drivers must be older than 24, possess a valid driver’s license, and get approved by Call-A-Ride’s automobile insurer.

For potential riders, please visit the Call-A-Ride website to view offered services.

For potential volunteer drivers, please call Ron or Hilary at 203.661.6633.

Give a wave next time you see a CALL-A-RIDE car on the road!
