In 1967, recognizing that transportation resources and alternatives were limited in Washington County, Community Thread organized volunteer drivers to provide rides to those in need.

The Community Thread's Transportation Program recruits, trains, and maintains a team of volunteer drivers that provides door-to-door, transportation service for Washington County seniors and others who are unable to drive themselves to medical appointments. Volunteer office assistants help to schedule the rides.

Interested in becoming a volunteer driver? Call Cathy at 651-439-7434.

The Community Thread Transportation Program is featured in a cable access TV show called "Transportation Alternatives" that is available for viewing on local cable access television stations in the Twin Cities area.  Check your local listings for dates
and times in your area.  You can also view the show online at http://vimeo.com/11630533

Other transportation providers on the show include the American Cancer Society
and White Bear Lake Senior Program.  Thank you to Gary Perrault of GP-Video-TV Productions for producing the show.  The show was taped on April 21, 2010 at the
Suburban Community Channels station in White Bear Lake, MN
