    Description

    Escorted Transportation Service (ETS) Driver: Everyday seniors in your neighborhood may miss important medical appointments, simply because they can’t get there. Many have short-term illnesses or injuries that preclude them from driving while others have relinquished their licenses due to physical or mental constraints. You can remedy this situation by transporting seniors in your personal vehicle to and from medical and dental appointments. All that is required is a valid driver’s license, a good driving record, auto insurance and a 3-4 hour block of time to take an appreciative senior to an appointment.
