Urban/Rural Rides completed its first official rides in the new expansion areas of Western Valley and the Northwest Region on February 15th. Volunteers and clients are excited to see the service operating in regions that struggle for transportation solutions. Urban/Rural Rides, using volunteer drivers, offers an affordable transportation option to assist people in accessing medical appointments and other essential life services.
What started as three small groups operating in Southeast NB, Rural Rides, Tele-Drive and the drive program of the Volunteer Centre of SENB have seen record growth since they decided to merge and work together as Urban/Rural Rides.
