Senior Shuttles
Created in 1997, Senior Shuttles now offers 18 van programs throughout King County. We transport seniors and people with disabilities to hot meal programs, medical appointments, senior centers, grocery stores, and other local destinations.
The service provides riders with an opportunity to socialize and stay active within their communities. It gives our van drivers an overwhelming sense of satisfaction and a chance to form many special friendships.
There is no charge for rides, but donations are welcome.
