About Ride Connection

As a nonprofit focused on transportation options for the Portland Metro area, independence and community livability is important to Ride Connection. We believe our mission to link accessible, responsive transportation with community needs helps ensure that older adults, people with disabilities and low income individuals are empowered to actively participate in their communities. We work on a neighborhood scale to coordinate services tailored to the specific needs of each community served. Learn more at www.rideconnection.org.

About Dahlia

Through a process of involving community members and people with kidney disease as well as medical and transportation professionals, Ride Connection went to the heart of existing transportation challenges for people who receive dialysis treatment. We found that without reliable, flexible and affordable transportation, people need transportation to treatment experienced negative health impacts. With the information gleaned from our inclusionary process, we recently started a pilot project to address these important issues around transportation.
