Volunteer: Medical Appointment DriversThis program provides rides for older adults who have no other transportation available to medical or medically related appointments. This is a much needed service in our rural community to assist people who need transportation to clinics or other healthcare settings. Volunteers are able to determine the frequency of rides. Flexibility is key, as the length of appointments may vary. Rides may be one way or both ways. DeForest Area Community & Senior Center coordinates the rides locally, through a partnership with RSVP's Driver Escorts. RSVP provides drivers with several kinds of support. Volunteers receive mileage reimbursement, free excess insurance while on assignment, "disabled cards" from Wisconsin Motor Vehicle for passengers with difficulty walking, a Madison map to find medical facilities, Volunteer Driver Escort badge and other things dependent on the assignment. RESTRICTIONS: Clear driving record and dependable car are required as is registration with RSVP. New safety protocols are in place due to COVID. Mask must be worn by both the passenger and driver at all times. All Drivers are required to be vaccinated.
