Beginning in August 2005, The Seniors Around Town (SAT) program has been providing alternative transportation for Orinda seniors who are no longer able to drive and who may not qualify for the County Connection LINK system.  The SAT program offers ease of use, no cost to riders, door-to-door transportation to all eligible Orinda senior residents. Orinda volunteer drivers using their own personal vehicles provide rides to doctors’ appointments, errands and social events in the Lamorinda, Berkeley and Walnut Creek areas, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9am and 4pm. 

Riders

Upon a completed registration, a senior can call our office with a reservation.  We require one week notice.  Our staff will find an available driver who will contact the rider directly for that ride request.   Call us today at 925-402-4506 to set up an in-office appointment and learn more about how SAT might work for you or a loved one. 

Drivers

Volunteer drivers are always needed and must be Orinda residents. As a volunteer you decide how often and how far you are willing to drive.  The rewards from this service are tremendous; our riders are so grateful to have this option which allows them to continue to live independently.  All of our volunteer drivers must complete a thorough DMV and criminal background check along with an interview and orientation.  Click here to fill out an online application to become a driver for Orinda Seniors Around Town.
