You have the opportunity to make a difference in your community and someone’s life by becoming a volunteer driver for the My Rides Program! There are times in a person’s life where finding transportation can be a struggle.
Seniors, individuals with disabilities, or families with young children (0-5) who are unable to drive or do not have the means to drive can be vulnerable to circumstances that prevent them from getting to medical services and other places that support their quality of life.
The MyRides program works by coordinating a network of volunteer drivers who take eligible residents to nonemergency and essential needs appointments. The schedule for these volunteer drivers is very flexible. We always give our drivers plenty of notice about upcoming rides, and always notify our drivers at least a day in advance.
Volunteers can list the days and times they are available and we will only schedule them during those designated time periods. Gas and mileage reimbursement available. For more information visit our website, myridesplacer.org or call us at 1.800.878.9222, ext. 201.

Description
Improving the Lives of Placer County Seniors In a perfect world, every senior would have enough food to eat, a warm, safe place to live, access to reliable transportation, and opportunities for human interaction and connection. Over 86,000 senior citizens reside in Placer County, many of whom do not have access to these critical quality of life services. Seniors First exists to provide programs, services and long-term support to Placer County seniors so that they may maintain their independence as long as possible. Seniors first is working to make this vision a reality by offering programs that provide:
- safe and reliable transportation
- nutritious meals
- adult day care & socialization
- visits to the homebound
- caregiver support
- home modifications and safety repairs
- assistance with housing placement
- information and referral resources for seniors
All Placer County seniors living in Western Placer County are eligible for Seniors First services, including the communities of Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Colfax, Auburn and Granite Bay.
