About us

For many of our neighbors who don’t have access to a vehicle due to age, ability, economics, or other circumstances, there can be very few available transportation options.

CVTC was established in 2008 as a non-profit organization dedicated to helping insure transportation for all in the Monadnock Region.

By offering “no-fee” transportation for those without access, CVTC’s team of staff and volunteers positively impact our communities in three primary ways.

  • Serving our neighbors in need of transportation by providing rides to non-emergency medical or social service appointments and to the grocery store, bank, post office, or pharmacy.

  • Serving our neighbors looking for meaningful ways to make a difference by providing volunteer opportunities and supporting our volunteer drivers with training and orientation, an easy-to-use ride coordination system, and mileage reimbursement.

  • To achieve our vision of transportation for everyone, our mission is: To optimize health, well-being, and independence, we coordinate transportation options for people throughout the Monadnock Region.

  • Leadership - drive the community transportation conversation in the region

    Respect - honor our volunteer drivers, riders, staff, partners and communities

    Excellence - hold ourselves to high standards

    Foresight - plan for and adapt to ever-changing dynamics

  • Collaboration: We bring people and organizations together in support of the community.

    Intentional action is essential to success: We are thoughtful and strategic in our thinking and our activities.

    Mindful of impact: As we evaluate our activities we strive to measure our positive effects on the people and communities we serve.

CVTC’s service area

Although we serve 34 towns in the Monadnock Region, we don’t always have full coverage and need volunteer drivers. If you live in one of the towns listed and can give a few hours a month, please consider becoming a volunteer driver.

*Please Note: CVTC provides transportation for residents of Keene who need rides to destinations OUTSIDE Keene city limits. If you are a resident of Keene and need a ride to a destination within the city limits of Keene, you can get a ride with the transportation services provided by Home Healthcare Hospice & Community Services.
