Beginning in August 2005, The Seniors Around Town (SAT) program has been providing alternative transportation for Orinda seniors who are no longer able to drive and who may not qualify for the County Connection LINK system.  The SAT program offers ease of use, no cost to riders, door-to-door transportation to all eligible Orinda senior residents. Orinda volunteer drivers using their own personal vehicles provide rides to doctors’ appointments, errands and social events in Lamorinda, Martinez, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, cities along the 680 corridor, Oakland and Berkeley.

, Monday through Thursday, between the hours of 9am and 2pm and Friday, 9:00-12:00.

Riders:

Upon a completed registration, a senior can call our office with a reservation.  We require one week notice.  Our staff will find an available driver who will contact the rider directly for that ride request.   Call us today at 925-402-4506 to set up an in-office appointment and learn more about how SAT might work for you or a loved one.

Eligibility:
