If there are no supplemental senior services listed for your community, contact your local senior center or local government to find out if a service that we are unaware of exists in your community, or to suggest that there is a need for such a service. The web site is designed to provide contact information as well as general information about transportation providers in and around the Miami Valley. Miami Valley Ride Finder is one stop web site for information about available transportation in the Miami Valley. Links to all public transit providers in Greene, Miami and Montgomery counties are also available through the website.

There are a variety of programs that already exist that provide transportation to seniors in some communities in the Miami Valley, and you can find those by visiting Miami Valley Ride Finder. Whether it is getting to the doctor, or going to a senior center to enjoy time with friends, staying connected to the community is important for seniors. Supplemental Senior Transportation is important to increase transportation options available to Miami Valley residents over the age of 60 for both life essential and life enhancing purposes. Our goal is to help you plan ahead for ' transportation independence' and provide resources to make the right decisions for yourself and your family Combine this with serious current service gaps and a projected 80 percent increase in our nation's senior population as the “baby boomers” retire, and you can begin to understand the problems we face. Nationally, it is estimated that the period of ' transportation dependence' averages 8 years for men and 10 for women. Would your friends and family be able to get you everywhere you'd like to go? If it's available in your area, would you begin to use public transportation? Unfortunately, for too many of our area's seniors, life without a car means isolation from essential services and the life-enhancing activities that should make their golden years enjoyable. Imagine what life would be like if you lost your ability to drive.
