Volunteer Transportation

Volunteer Transportation Service (VTS) helps King County seniors get to vital medical appointments within King County. Our amazing group of volunteers use their personal vehicles to transport seniors 60 years old and older. VTS cannot provide transport for procedures that require a caregiver.

Rides are dependent on volunteer availability and are not guaranteed. Transportation is available every weekday, Monday-Friday, 8:00AM to 4:00PM. We request 1-week advanced notice for any ride requests. Rides are FREE but donations are welcome. For seniors living with disabilities, you must be able to get in and out of a small car or van with minimal assistance. Interpreters can be provided upon request only during over the phone ride requests. Call (206)-448-5740 or 1-800-282-5815 to request a ride or to get more information.
