What is A "TrustedRider"?
Our TrustedRiders are trained, certified, and background-checked to work with older adults and other at-risk populations, and receive additional instruction from mobility and care-navigation specialists. We do not operate vehicles. Our services focus on safety, guidance, and follow-through before, during, and after each journey.
