Take the Ride

Think of it as a little like Uber for Great Aunt Betty. The Independent Transportation Network® (ITN) is dedicated to providing dignified transportation. Older adults join ITNBluegrass and become dues-paying members of an organization committed to their mobility. When they pick up the telephone to schedule a ride, they are not asking a favor. ITNBluegrass is a nonprofit built to ease the transition from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat.

But it’s so much more than an uber or lyft, or even a taxi.

ITN Bluegrass provides armthrough-arm, door-to-door service. And like using your own automobile,

ITN is available 24/7, offering the flexibility to schedule rides in advance or as needed, as well as the option to ride alone or with others.

Feeling a little isolated in your social distance? That’s how many older people who don’t drive anymore feel all the time. Why not reach out and give an older person a ride?

Volunteer to drive once a week for ITN. All volunteers are provided training and ITN has adopted safety guidelines in line with CDC guidance to protect both drivers and riders.

Call today to learn more and to sign up to drive. Driving record and background check required.
