Request Rides
Thanks to the support of our community, Chariot is a free service providing rides 7 days a week within our service area. Our volunteer drivers are at the ready to provide you, or a loved one, door-to-door service for one-way or roundtrip requests.
We serve adults who:
Are age 60 and over
Are non-driving or limited-driving
Live in their own residence or live in a senior living community where they do not have access to transportation services
Live within the boundary of our service area (see map)
Are able to walk on their own or with walkers or cane (volunteers cannot transport wheelchairs or lift clients in any manner)
Clients must own and carry a cellular phone to maintain contact with volunteers and staff while using Chariot Services for transportation.
Once you have enrolled in our service, you can simply call us at (512) 445-5552, Monday-Friday, 9-5 to schedule rides. (Ride requests must be submitted to Chariot at least 7 days before your appointment.)
To inquire about joining a group ride, please call (512) 445-5552.
