Community in Motion has connected people in need with vital services and support for more than 60 years. Today, the organization’s sole focus is linking individuals who live in Southwest Washington with reliable transportation services and resources so they can live rich, healthy, and independent lives. To that end, our programs assist people with trips to Medicaid-covered appointments, life-sustaining medical appointments, employment, other critical transportation needs, and social activities. Our services are especially useful to seniors, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and other underserved communities.
We offer an Employment Transportation program for low-income individuals working with local employment partners who need transportation assistance to employment sites, job training, job interviews and other work-related activities.
Community in Motion works closely with various community agencies, businesses, and other non-profit organizations to fulfill their clients’ transportation needs. The organization takes a collaborative, open, and solutions-based approach that focuses on the individual and the need – not who gets the credit.
Our North County Shuttle Service runs in north Clark County to drive people into Battle Ground for shopping, medical, social, and other needs. The shuttle divides the rural area into different routes depending on the day.
Anyone may use our Trip Resource Center (TripResourceCenter.org) to identify their transportation options. The service offers special features and programs for seniors, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and other underserved communities. Information given could include public transportation, private transportation companies, travel trainers, or non-profits.
Volunteers in Motion is a program where trained volunteer drivers are matched with Clark County residents that require transportation assistance. Come join us: We are always looking for volunteers to help drive our community members. Volunteer drivers may use their own vehicle and be reimbursed for mileage, or they can use one of our vans to provide trips.
What we look for in our volunteer drivers:
- A desire to help others and provide excellent customer service
- Be at least 21 years old
- Have a registered vehicle in good condition (if using your own vehicle)
- Possess a valid driver’s license
- Complete a volunteer application
- Maintain state required insurance
- Ability to pass a thorough background check
- Verify and sign a statement of Physical Ability
- Pass initial and annual driving evaluations
We encourage you to consider volunteering with us, applying to join our board of directors, and/or making a financial contribution to support our work. To learn more, please visit our website: www.communityinmotion.org.
