Getting around in later life—especially if you don't drive or own a car—can be difficult. That's why the Milwaukie Center has developed a variety of ways to provide rides or put seniors and their families in touch with other organizations that do.

Call Center Transportation Services from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays for more information or to arrange a ride. As a link to help in later life, the program offers or can refer older adults to these senior ride options:

Center busses make regular weekday runs throughout the North Clackamas service area. This door-to-door service brings people to the Center for services, lunch, classes or special events. Busses are equipped with wheelchair lift capacity.

Weekly bus transportation to a local store. Door-to-door service. Busses are equipped with wheelchair lift capacity.

Drivers from Clackamas County Volunteer Connection are available to take seniors and people with disabilities to appointments on a donation basis. Call T.R.P. between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm for information on these door-to-door rides. Call 503-655-8208 for details.

This fixed route shuttle service runs between the Milwaukie Transit Center and Clackamas Town Center on weekdays with regular stops at Milwaukie Center. The mini-bus is equipped with wheelchair lift capacity. Public access.

People who are unable to ride regular Tri-Met bus routes due to age or disability may enroll to use this door-to-door service. Pre-registration must be completed three (3) weeks in advance of your first use of service. Wheelchair accessible mini-busses.

Working with volunteers in the Milwaukie Center Travel Program, Center Transportation Program occasionally provides busses that carry seniors on interesting day trips around the region. Check the Healthy Living Guide or call the Travel Desk at 503-653-8100 from 9 am-1 pm on any weekday for information on the current trip listings.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

The Transportation Program is reliant on community partners and volunteers who understand the importance of access to services and social contact for people in later life.

You help most when you:

Stock up on chocolate at our yearly Valentine and Easter candy sales! Proceeds from these and other activities directly support rides available to area seniors.
CONTRIBUTE WHAT YOU CAN . . .
Memorial gifts and donations-bequests, annuities or cash may be made directly to the Transportation Program and will help provide transportation to seniors who need it.
