Senior Transportation Consortium

Special Needs Transportation

The Division provides staff support to the Clackamas County Senior Transportation Consortium which includes the agency-sponsored Transportation Reaching People (TRP), senior centers and Volunteer Transportation (VTI). In addition, CCSS actively seeks ways to enhance special needs transportation through grant writing, program development, and participation in planning and policy development meetings at the county, regional and state levels.

TRANSPORTATION REACHING PEOPLE (TRP)

Transportation Reaching People (TRP) serves older people and people with disabilities needing transportation to medical appointments, personal business, social services appointments, and shopping.

Volunteer drivers provide door-to-door transportation using their own vehicles.

TRP has a van for riders needing wheelchair accessibility.

Clackamas County rural residents who are not older or disabled can access transportation.

Support to volunteers includes:

• Defensive driver training
• Mobility awareness training
• Supplemental Insurance
• Mileage Reimbursement
• Flexible scheduling
• Follow-ups
