We're a little late but we do llloooove our drivers. They go above and beyond to serve our community!

Today, we celebrate the incredible people who keep our communities moving. 🚌💚

On National Transit Driver Day 2026, everyone at Ride Connection extends our deepest gratitude to the dedicated transit drivers who show up every day with professionalism, patience, and heart.

You are more than drivers - you are lifelines. You connect neighbors to medical appointments, grocery stores, jobs, community centers, and to each other. Your commitment ensures that people of all abilities and incomes can travel safely and with dignity.

Thank you for the early mornings, the careful driving, the friendly greetings, and the miles you travel to serve others. Our community is stronger because of you.

💙 Drop a thank-you message below to show your appreciation for the drivers who make a difference every single day!

We love Ms Deann. Our volunteers are the best!

Meet Deann 💚🚐

After retiring from a career as a software engineer, Deann decided it was time to give back. Ride Connection had helped her parents get to medical appointments when she couldn’t leave work, and after losing her sister and later her parents, volunteering felt like a meaningful way to honor them.

Now a year into driving a ProjectLinkage van, Deann volunteers about 10 hours a month. She loves when riders sit up front so they can chat. “They have amazing stories,” she says.

One recent rider’s smile reminded her of the way her own mom used to light up when she saw her - a full-circle moment she’ll never forget.

Inspired by Deann? We’re always looking for more volunteer drivers. Even one day a month makes a huge difference. Sign up here to get started. 💚 https://rideconnection.org/get-involved/volunteer/
