Dignified

The Independent Transportation Network® (ITN) is dignified. Older adults who join ITN® become dues-paying members of a non-profit organization committed to their independence and mobility. When they pick up the telephone to schedule a ride, they are not asking a favor. The transition from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat is never easy – for the drivers or for their families – but it is infinitely easier when there is a viable transportation alternative that keeps the older adult in control.

Consumer Oriented

The ITN service is also consumer oriented. We provide excellent customer service with the arm-through-armdoor-through-door standard that sets us apart from taxis. Like using one’s own automobile, the ITN service is available 24/7 and gives customers the flexibility to schedule their rides in advance or as needed, as well as the option to ride alone or with others, as they please, to destinations of their choice.
