GET INVOLVED
Help Make Transportation Security Possible.
Every day, people are trying to get to care, work, food, school, family, and community—but transportation barriers can make even ordinary parts of life feel out of reach.
You can help make the path forward more dependable. Give, volunteer, bring your skills, connect a partner, or invite your workplace into the work.
Transportation Security Is Not Built by One Organization Alone.
Catch a Ride works alongside healthcare providers, community organizations, employers, public agencies, transportation partners, funders, volunteers, and neighbors who believe people should not miss what matters because they cannot get there.
Some supporters give because they care about veterans, older adults, pregnant and postpartum families, workforce opportunity, healthcare access, or rural communities.
Others volunteer because they know that showing up with time, talent, compassion, or a useful connection can make a real difference in someone’s week—and in a community’s future.
“Transportation security is built by systems, but it is sustained by communities that decide no one should be left behind.”

COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS
Stronger Transportation Systems Start With People Who Bring Others Together.
Transportation solutions become stronger when local people bring their relationships, experience, creativity, and determination to the table.
In communities like Waupaca County, local business leaders, employers, public partners, nonprofits, and residents have helped turn a shared concern into a growing mobility solution that supports workers, families, older adults, healthcare access, and community wellbeing.
“The mission isn’t just about mobility; it’s about empowering individuals to reach their full potential by breaking down barriers to transportation.”
— Terri Schulz, Waupaca Community Leader
