Volunteer Driver Escort Program

This program utilizes volunteers who use their own vehicles to provide transportation
throughout Douglas County.  This program also provides transportation to Duluth, Minnesota
(for medical purposes only). 

The program is designed for those individuals who need minimal assistance, are ambulatory, and are at least 60 years of age. If you are under the age of 60 years old, and disabled, with
no other means of transportation, we also try to accommodate you, depending on the situation and availability of volunteer drivers. 

Volunteer Drivers do not stay with participants at their destinations.  It is a door to door
service.  Basic hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 
If you have a scheduled appointment that falls outside of this time frame, we try to
accommodate you, depending on availability of the drivers.  Participants need to call
in their transportation requests at least 24 hours in advance of their appointment. 

For more information, please call us at the Aging Resource Center for Douglas County,
at (715) 394-3611, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
