TRIP Riverside County
Through TRIP Riverside County, enrolled individuals who can’t drive arrange rides with trusted friends, neighbors, or family members. ILP reimburses riders 45¢ per mile so they can compensate their drivers.
TRIP Riverside County helps you get there
TRIP helps people who can’t drive get the transportation they need—at no cost to them.
To get started, riders enroll in TRIP and complete a simple approval process. Once accepted, riders choose their own volunteer driver—usually a friend, neighbor, or someone they already know and trust.
Rides are arranged directly between the rider and their driver, at times that work for both of them.
After a trip, the rider submits basic travel information. TRIP then sends a reimbursement payment to the rider, who uses it to reimburse their volunteer driver.
