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.
Serving the public health by partnering with local hospitals, human services agencies, and municipalities to support the health, safety, and well-being of our communities. Learn more about how we work collaboratively.
