The Coronado Seniors Out and About program has hit a milestone! The program recently enrolled its 100th rider and is expected to keep growing. 16 volunteer drivers are providing scheduled rides for Coronado seniors 60+ that otherwise have little or no transportation. Coronado Seniors Out and About is always in need of more volunteer drivers. If you have a desire to help other Coronado residents with their transportation needs, becoming a volunteer driver might be your calling!
The rides are provided to medical/ health related offices, grocery stores, banks, social events, fitness activities, barber/beauty shops and more. Rides are provided both locally and into San Diego, up to 25 miles Monday-Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Coronado Seniors Out and About Program is supported by SANDAG as part of the TransNet Senior Mini-Grant Program. This project supports strategies of the Coordinated Plan, the regional strategy to provide travel accommodations to recognized transportation-disadvantaged groups including seniors, individuals with disabilities, and persons with limited means.
Please contact the Coronado Seniors Out and About staff today to become a rider or volunteer driver! Call (619) 522-6302 or visit us online at www.coronado.ca.us/outandabout for more information.
