Center & the National Center on Senior Transportation. A $25

Volunteer transportation forms the backbone of most
senior transportation programs nationwide, but what
happens when volunteer driver programs stop growing,
or older volunteer drivers have to give up the keys? This
intensive will look beyond the direct services provided by
volunteer drivers and discuss additional creative methods
of utilizing volunteers to achieve community transportation
improvements. The session will introduce a new way of
thinking about volunteers and offer an opportunity to learn
from outstanding volunteer transportation programs that are
using the talents of volunteers in innovative ways to grow
their programs. Instruction on conducting organizational
readiness assessments and developing a plan for creating a
self-directed volunteer transportation team will be provided.
Each participant will receive a packet of background materials
and action tools and the opportunity to receive one hour of
coaching assistance to be provided at a later date.
