Nutmeg Senior Rides Seeks Drivers

The mission of Nutmeg Senior Rides is to improve the quality of life for people 50 and older and adults with visual impairments by providing members affordable, door-through-door, personal transportation. Rides to work and any other purpose available 365 days a year. Drivers meet riders at their home door and, if necessary, help load equipment and groceries, and enter offices to retrieve a rider. Volunteers receive a list of rides scheduled for the week and sign up for the rides that meet their own schedule. Also, volunteers receive mileage reimbursement.

Volunteers provide over 50% of our rides and are the key factor in keeping rides available and affordable, keeping program costs down, and ensuring our program is intrinsically connected to the community. Nutmeg Senior Rides has a specific service area for senior transportation in Connecticut, which includes West Suffield , Bloomfield , South Windsor , Somers , Enfield , Granby , East Granby , Suffield , Windsor , Windsor Locks , and East Windsor .

If you are interested in becoming a driver, please contact: Chris Kelly, executive director, at 860-478-9050 or ctseniorrides@gmail.com.
