The Drivers Assisting Seniors in Healdsburg (DASH) volunteer transportation program is available to Seniors age 60 or better who live in Healdsburg and need assistance with transportation.

Trained volunteers drive City-owned vehicles to provide pre-scheduled rides for medical, shopping, and social activities within Healdsburg and out of town rides for medical appointments to individuals residing in Healdsburg.

Once riders are enrolled in the program, they may request a DASH car one week in advance of their appointment. Rides are scheduled according to volunteer driver availability.

The program is funded through the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) along with a Caltrans grant awarded to Sonoma County.

If you are a Senior living in Healdsburg call the DASH Hotline at (707) 431-3159 or speak to Donna O’Brien, Volunteer Coordinator.

• Any report of unlawful discrimination will result in the temporary deactivation of a partner’s account while Uber reviews the incident. Confirmed violations of the law with respect to riders with disabilities may result in permanent loss of a partner’s access to the Uber platform.
