Community Drivers
Transportation is essential. Vermonters need you.
There is a transportation need in Vermont. Mobility is essential to almost everyone, and there is more demand than ever to help Vermonters get to doctor’s appointments and fulfill other critical necessities. The answer? You and your vehicle. Become a Community Driver through your local transit provider and be a force for change in the lives of your neighbors. Plus, for providing transport to help other Vermonters, you will be eligible to be paid or receive other compensation related to your travel.
How it works:
Most trips are centered on medical needs, providing access to appointments like dialysis, radiation treatment, physical therapy and more. You may also provide rides to senior centers, affordable food locations, counseling, prevention treatment, or various human services programs. While most appointments are local, others can be as far as Dartmouth or Boston. You can set your own schedule and determine the range of transportation service you are able to provide. Drivers are offered reimbursement at the standard IRS mileage rate for each trip.
