Getting help with transportation: Overview
Getting help with transportation: Overview
Transportation is how we get around every day. It includes buses, trains, bicycles, scooters, cars, and walking. When you don't have transportation that you can rely on, it's harder to earn money, buy food, visit friends, and go to doctor visits. And this can affect your health.
Many places deliver food and other items, sometimes for free or low cost. For local resources, talk to your doctor or a faith leader, or ask at a senior center.
You can also find help by going online to findhelp.org or 211.org or by calling 211.
