Overview of Volunteer Driver Programs
Volunteer driver programs offer a network of volunteers that provide door-through-door rides. Door-through-door services provide additional assistance to passengers by escorting them from their homes to the vehicle and from the vehicle inside their destination.
A number of organizations in Alameda County offer volunteer driver programs. The Volunteer Driver Programs table provides a list of volunteer driver programs in Alameda County.
