- TRIP is short for the Transportation Reimbursement and Information Project - an award winning, nationally acclaimed, social transportation program that complements rail, fixed route and special public transportation services in Riverside County, California. Many transportation options are available for non-drivers in Riverside County. Most of us, while we continue to drive, don’t think about other transportation options that might be available in the area in which we live. Nor do we think about how we would be able to get to the doctor, do our shopping, or travel for other purposes IF we were suddenly unable to use our car. Transportation always comes up as the “biggest problem” for those of us who lose our ability to use our car, or lose our spouse who may have been the primary driver. We hear many people say, “There is no transportation where I live.” In most cases, that isn’t true – it is just that we don’t know about the transportation we have available. Visit the public transit services listed below to find out what they provide in your area: Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency Also, many religious groups, medical facilities, some senior centers, grocery stores and service organizations operate small transportation services for their members, customers or clients. For example, the Braille Institute, Aids Projects, Veterans Services and the Sharp Medical Center all provide some transportation services. Others help pay the expense of transportation. Check with all of the organizations to which you belong or that provide you with services to find out if they have special transportation services available for your use.
