ACC Rides Transportation Program for Seniors
ACC Rides Transportation Services (ACC Rides) provides door-through-door transportation service to medical and dental appointments, grocery shopping, field trips, Meals on Wheels Café sites, ACC Senior Services (ACC), other senior centers, Triple R, and other errands.
For many older adults, ACC Rides is a lifeline that provides a measure of independence to people who cannot drive, due to mobility, physical or cognitive disabilities, are unable to utilize public transit or lack other means of transport.
Caregivers can also depend on ACC Rides to transport their loved ones to classes or other programs at ACC Senior Services Campus. Click Here to find out about current ACC events, classes, and clubs.
