The
Senior Shuttles
Created in 1997, Senior Shuttles now
offers 14 van programs throughout
King County. We transport seniors to hot meal programs,
medical appointments, senior centers, grocery stores, and other
local destinations. See below for a more detailed description
of our van program.
The service provides seniors with an
opportunity to socialize with other seniors 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. |

Senior Services’ Transportation programs include a wonderful
mix of people of all ages and from all walks of life...retirees, working individuals,
stay-at-home parents, and snowbirds. Rain or shine, they show up on doorsteps throughout their communities to provide a ride and a
helping hand. Our volunteers’ dedication and compassion have created
a program that is truly amazing, and our clients don't know what
they would do without their help.
Are you interested in
becoming a volunteer driver but would
prefer to use your own vehicle? Please

information about transporting seniors to medical and other
essential appointments.
