myRide Vintage House Volunteer Driver Program

Vintage House’s myRide program provides free rides to seniors who are no longer driving. myRide, an all-volunteer-based program, eliminates the obstacle to transportation that keeps many seniors isolated and shut-in at home, and helps them get out and engage with others in our community. Free rides are available for seniors throughout the Sonoma Valley, from Schellville to Kenwood, and everywhere in between.

Rides are available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm for non-medical needs, such as shopping and appointments, and even to come down to participate in a class or activity at Vintage House.

myRide makes a significant difference in the quality of life for seniors who can no longer drive.

This service is provided within three-quarters (¾) of a mile from existing CityBus routes as part of the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The service is shared-ride public transportation that is available for all trip purposes (including shopping, higher education, medical appointments, and work). The City of Santa Rosa takes pride in providing high quality, safe, reliable and courteous transportation service. Santa Rosa Paratransit is highly subsidized. The one-way paratransit fare of $3.00 (which is double the adult fixed-route fare) covers a very small fraction of the overall cost of the trip, which is approximately $30 per one-way trip.
