Volunteer Transportation for Seniors

Volunteer Transportation Service (VTS) helps King County seniors get to vital medical appointments within King County. This group of volunteers use their personal vehicles to transport seniors 60 years old and older. They primarily transport riders to medical appointments, including dental, physical therapy, vision and hearing, as well as other necessary destinations such as pharmacies and food banks. VTS cannot provide transport for procedures that require a caregiver. Our rides are dependent on volunteer availability and are not guaranteed.

Transportation is available every weekday, Monday-Friday, 8:00AM to 4:00PM. VTS requests 2 weeks’ advanced notice for any ride requests. Rides are FREE but donations are welcome. For seniors living with disabilities, you must be able to get in and out of a small car or van with minimal assistance. We can provide interpreters during ride requests for non-English speakers.

Call (206)-448-5740 or 1-800-282-5815 to request a ride or to get more information. Our representatives are available Monday-Friday, 8:00AM-4:30PM. Or visit our website. https://soundgenerations.org/our-programs/transportation/volunteer-transportation/
