When you feel it may no longer be safe for your loved ones to get behind the wheel of the vehicle, taking the keys away without explanation is seldom the best approach.
Luckily, for those in Via’s service area, giving up the keys does not need to lead to a lack of independence and personal freedom. Via helps anyone facing mobility limitations, whether temporary or permanent, enjoy freedom, and stay connected with their family and community. With on-demand transportation, travel training, mobility options information and referral services, Via has something for anyone who might be looking to give up the car keys.
• Via Transportation: An alternative mode of flexible passenger transportation that does not follow fixed routes or schedules known as paratransit.
