Family Support

How can family members help?

Family members care deeply when a parent, grandparent or spouse struggles with safe driving. How can they help, without undermining their loved one's independence?

Family members may support The Independent Transportation Network® by joining as dues paying, non-riding members, by helping with community fundraisers, or by volunteering to drive or help in the office.

With ITN's door-through-door, arm-through-arm service, older family members are as safe as if their own children were there to open the door and carry the packages.

Adult children who live in any community with an ITN affiliate can earn transportation credits by volunteering to drive seniors. Because ITNAmerica is a nationally affiliated system, their parents may use those credits to pay for rides in the community where they live, even if they are located thousands of miles away.

Adult children can help manage their parents' Personal Transportation Account™ by having the monthly statements sent directly to them. There is also a Gift Certificate Program to help pay for rides. It's a great idea for Mother's Day, birthdays, holidays, etc.
