Find a Ride: Connecting Older Adults to Transportation Across NC
Find a Ride is a new online tool that helps North Carolinians find, understand, and use local transportation services. It brings together information from all 100 counties in one simple, searchable place to make it easier for older adults, families, and professionals to explore transportation options.
Why It Matters
Transportation access is essential for independence, health, and staying connected to the community, especially for older adults. Yet many people struggle to find clear and accurate information about available transportation options. In North Carolina, not knowing about existing services is one of the biggest barriers to access.
Many transportation sites are confusing or leave out key details, making it hard to understand who can ride, how to schedule a trip, or what services are available.
Find a Ride brings this information together in one easy-to-use place, making it simpler for:
• Older adults and caregivers to find transportation that meets their needs.
• Caregivers and professionals to help older adults plan trips.
• Communities and agencies to identify gaps and plan for future needs.
