Sausalito’s community is as beautiful as the area we live in. Unfortunately for those without the ability to drive, our steep and narrow hills can make everyday tasks difficult. Our goal is to keep the community connected regardless of age or physical limitation by offering free car rides.

What Would I be Doing?
As a volunteer driver you’ll use your own car to transport residents wherever they would like to go in Sausalito! This commonly includes events, library visits and local errands.
We kindly ask you contribute at least one four-hour driving shift per month. Choose shifts Monday through Friday, from 10AM to 2PM. You’ll start with a driver orientation with our program coordinator before getting on the road. We request you attend driver events focused on fun and education on a quarterly basis.
