WA Transpo
Affordable Transportation
Through Volunteer
Driving Programs
WA Transpo is a recently formed
collaborative whose goal is to
provide affordable transportation
to residents in Westmorland and
Albert Counties, particularly
those in rural areas with little
or no options to get where they
need to go. The collaborative is
comprised of Rural Rides in Upper
Petitcodiac River Valley and the
Tantramar Region, The Volunteer
Centre of Southeastern NB Driving
program in Moncton and Tele-
drive in Albert County.
These organizations were created
to facilitate seniors, those with
mobility issues, and those with
vision impairment, in attending
doctors’ visits, doing banking,
and picking up groceries. “We
also have expanded our services
to those attending social events
to counter the feeling of isolation
and to remain connected to the
community,” says Kelly Taylor,
Manager of Rural Rides Ltd.
“and we now serve low-income
families and individuals as well.
These organizations have been
providing low cost transportation
in their areas for several years
now but also realize there are still
areas in Westmorland and Albert
Counties who do not have access
to volunteer driver services. The
organizations are joining forces
to work together to see that all
residents have access by
summer 2018.

The organizations offer
safe, reliable, and affordable
transportation and the convenience
of all requests for drives and
payments handled through a
central office. A strictly volunteer-
driven enterprise, WA Transpo is
comprised of drivers who utilize
their own private vehicle with
compensation for mileage granted
by the organizations. Volunteer
drivers must have a valid driver’s
license, adequate insurance, and
undergo a criminal records check.
There is an ongoing need for more
volunteer drivers. Happy Father's Day
