Mission Statement:
To ensure that there are adequate options for both on-island enrichment and essential (medical) transportation needs for older adults, as well as off-island medical transport.

bY Consulting the Transportation Directory!
In September of 2022, the transportation coalition launched the first Older Adult Transportation Directory. Now in April 2026 we have updated the Transportation options. These options are split into on island and off island options. Information on the accessibility and affordability of each option is provided.
