Assisted Rides Program
Through a partnership with the Lieutenant Governor’s Office on Aging and the Appalachian Council of  Government’s Aging and Disability Resource Center, Middle Tyger Community Center is excited to offer a new transportation service called Assisted Rides, which will serve Spartanburg County. Assisted Rides is a FREE transportation service for eligible passengers, aged 60 and older, or 21 and older with a disability, who have no other access to reliable transportation. The Assisted Rides Program is in need of volunteers to drive clients to important doctor’s appointments, grocery stores, pharmacies, social activities, and more.
Volunteers will be trained and will receive mileage reimbursement, insurance coverage and other incentives.
For information about the Assisted Rides Program, or if you would like to volunteer, please contact:
Carolyn Cox, Mobility Coordinator, 864-439-7760, or via email at Carolyn.cox@spart5.net
