The following services are available for Clackamas County:
1. Specialized Transportation
Client Based Service
Client Based Programs provide transportation services to their elderly
clients and/or clients with disabilities. The narrow focus of each
program is different: some programs focus on the community needs,
others focus on low income individuals, some focus on a specific
disability and others serve clients of a certain facility. Each
Client Based Program is limited to serving the clients that are
enrolled in their particular program and assign drivers to assist
clients with their transportation needs. Though each program assists
their clients as appropriate, generally they provide trips for medical,
shopping, nutritive, recreational, supportive services and volunteer/work
activities.
Neighborhood Based Service
Ride Connection’s neighborhood-based partner agencies provide
coordinated door-to-door demand response transportation. Agencies
respond to specific one-time and ongoing ride requests from customers.
Drivers provide rides for medical, nutritive, shopping, supportive
services, life sustaining medical, recreational, and volunteer/work-related
needs. Hours and days of service vary within each of the Network
partner agencies.
2. Customer Training
RideWise
RideWise is a collaborative effort between TriMet, Ride Connection
and other organizations to assist older adults and people living
with disabilities to travel independently. Transportation Representatives
guide individuals through the resources and options available in
their community. This personalized service provides customers with
information on all transportation options so that they are able
to choose the best option for each of their trips.
