Dial-a-Ride has become a vital means of supporting our local seniors and disabled who would otherwise be homebound. More than a simple mode of transportation, Dial-a-Ride has allowed hundreds to become independent and active members of society again.

Dial-a-Ride’s mission is to promote the health and social engagement of homebound senior and disabled persons living in Jacksonville’s beach communities by providing personal and affordable transportation.

Transportation is recognized as a key element in the senior population’s ability to “age-in-place,” living safely in the homes and neighborhoods that they love. Additionally, an individual’s overall health is not limited to the physical.
