Transportation Assistance

When you are an aging adult, getting to appointment and errand destinations can be challenging. 60+ Ride helps individuals age 60 and up maintain their independence by assisting with transportation. We offer free transportation seven days and evenings a week, depending on the availability of volunteer drivers.

Our mission is to help Weld County residents maintain their physical, emotional, and mental health while living independently.
