    About Us

    Mission: We move lives by providing safe, personalized transportation for those who need it

    Vision: A community connected where no one is left behind

    Description: Ride Connection is a private, non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon. Our transportation services help people access the goods and services they need to survive and thrive. By giving people the means to get around, we offer independence, inclusion, and access to healthcare.

    Ride Connection provides transportation options to individuals in need. From older adults and people with disabilities to low-income folks and underserved communities, we are able to provide essential transportation services thanks to the work and support of our staff, volunteers, partners, donors, and advocates.

    Our services bring together friends and family, prevent social isolation, alleviate financial stress, and create new connections that strengthen our community. Ride Connection is committed to providing inclusive transportation options for all individuals in need in the Portland tri-county area.

    The Ride Connection network is made up of a collection of agencies who serve older adults and people with disabilities as well as low-income individuals and general public. This network offers a variety of transportation options in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties. Together, we provide over 300,000 rides and support more than 2,000 individuals with training and access to public transportation each year.
