New Group Offers Rides For MetroWest Seniors

A new transportation system to provide older adults and people with visual impairments with door-to-door rides started this week in Greater Boston and the MetroWest area.

iTNGreaterBoston, an affiliate of iTNAmerica, which has 21 other networks across the country, is a nonprofit network that provides volunteer drivers for people who might otherwise be isolated in their homes.

Members of the network pay small fees to help support the organization and can also receive credits for future transportation by donating their cars.

The organization received startup funding from MetroWest Health Foundation and Tufts Health Plan Foundation. It serves 15 communities, including Natick, Framingham and Ashland, and plans to expand to include more areas in the future.
