What options do I have for transportation?

Driving is associated with independence and a loss of that independence often makes it difficult for the individual to be involved in their community or even perform routine tasks such as grocery shopping or visits to the doctor. Without viable alternatives to driving, many older drivers will continue to drive because they feel they have no other option, or the person stops driving which can lead to depression and isolation.  The Find A Ride section of this web site contains information on alternative transportation opportunities throughout Iowa that will help seniors make good decisions about their own safety and the safety of others on the roadway.
