Ride Connection is a mobility management program, funded in part by the Virginia Department of Rail & Public Transportation, to help older adults and persons with disabilities have the knowledge of and access to transportation to help them age safely at home and live a healthy, connected life.
Our ride counselors offer transportation education, travel training and referrals to local transportation providers. We also assist with discounted GRTC fixed route and CareVan tickets as well as Chesterfield Access vouchers on a limited basis. For those who meet eligibility requirements, Ride Connection is also able to provide two (2) round-trip rides to medical appointments for persons living in the City of Richmond and the Counties of Charles City County, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent and Powhatan.

Interested in Driving For Us?
Senior Connections’ Ride Connection program provides point-to-point transportation services to eligible individuals over the age of 60 and adults with disabilities living in the City of Richmond and Counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, and Powhatan. Transportation Providers are needed to help fulfill our mission. If you are interested in driving for us, please note that Senior Connections takes a hands-on approach during the qualifying process to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards. This process includes a review of safety compliance procedures, driver and attendant background checks, drug testing, and site visits where vehicle and driver inspections occur. Transportation providers must be accessible, accurate and provide superior customer service to riders. All potential providers must submit a full information and qualification packet for consideration.
