Transportation Program

Story County

The RSVP Transportation Program provides Story County's older adults with safe and reliable transportation to and from medical appointments and other essential services within the county.  For detailed information about the program, eligibility guidelines, and rules, view our Transportation Program Information.

​

In addition to transportation, RSVP also provides grocery delivery services to qualified residents of Story County.  Working in partnership with Heartland of Story County, RSVP engages volunteers to delivery groceries from local grocers to homebound residents or those otherwise struggling to get the food and staples they need to live independently.  This service is available by referral only.  If you are a volunteer interested in helping provide this service, please complete the driver application below. 

For complete list of program rules, view our Transportation Program Information.

You can make a difference in the lives of Story County residents by becoming part of a pool of volunteers who provide occasional rides to those in need of transportation.
