ITNSt.Charles Information

The Independent Transportation Network® is more than a "good cause," it's a necessary one; it's an important one. We do substantially more than provide rides for older people. We're helping to solve a huge social need. Seniors now have an alternative to driving that preserves their independence even as it ensures our roads are safe and our communities are healthy. Our service helps * families and friendships endure; * adult children minimize their absenteeism from work; * businesses remain profitable; * and seniors begin a new chapter in their lives that no longer includes loneliness, dependence, burden or immobility. ITN doesn't rely on taxpayer support for operating expenses. In fact, ITN actually helps drive the local economy and build community. The impact to the local business community of an ITN affiliate is between $300,000 and $500,000 per year. Senior transportation is a complex problem that touches every family in America. In fact, it touches every family in every industrial country in the world. We must think of senior transportation as a lifelong need for which we must plan, just as we plan for retirement or long-term care needs. You can find us on Facebook!
