Mission Statement
ITN Southern Delaware strives to provide sustainable, community-based and community supported transportation services for seniors 55+ and adults with visual impairments throughout Sussex County by building a transportation cooperative network and promoting lifelong safety and mobility.
Description
ITN Southern Delaware provides dignified transportation services. Older adults who join ITN become dues-paying members of a non-profit organization committed to their independence and mobility. When they pick up the telephone to schedule a ride, they are not asking a favor. The transition from the driver's seat to the passenger seat is never easy for the drivers or for their families, but it is infinitely easier when there is a viable transportation alternative that keeps the older adult in control.
ITN is consumer oriented; providing excellent customer service with the arm-through-arm, door-to-door standard that sets us apart from DART, DAST, taxis and the new online app services. Service is available 24/7 and customers schedule rides in advance or as needed with the option to ride alone or with others.
