WA Transpo
WA Transpo is a volunteer-powered group comprised of registered charities created in response to an ever-growing need in our rural communities for safe, affordable, reliable transportation. We offer our transportation services to our clients and those services have grown from providing transport to and from medical appointments to include scheduled transportation to shopping, other appointments and recreational activities. We do our very best to accommodate all travel requests, but generally require 48 hours notice.
Become a Client
In order to use our service, you must first be registered as a client. Becoming a client is easy! Give us a call at (506)962-3073 or download and fill out the Client Registration form at the bottom of this page and return it to us via mail email to watranspodispatch@gmail.com, and we’ll contact you as soon as possible.
How much does it cost?
Ride fees are based on the distance you travel. We charge a nominal fee for rides and also offer a subsidized rate (which is approximately 65% lower) for low income individuals and families. Call us for a quote at (506) 962-3073, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Volunteer as a Driver
Our volunteer drivers are the heart and the backbone of our organization. Those who choose to become volunteer drivers with Rural Rides are offering much more than a drive – they are offering independence, security, and the ability to remain in a rural community.
If you’re interested in joining Rural Rides as a volunteer driver, we’d love to hear from you! Drivers must be 21 years old or older, possess a valid New Brunswick driver’s license, have an RCMP background check, possess a registered vehicle (or vehicles) that are clean and presentable with valid safety inspections, possess supplemental insurance that is reimbursed by Rural Rides (contact us for more details.)
We ask that our volunteers be available a minimum of 4 hours per month. However, none of our drivers are expected to devote long periods to this service or to disrupt their personal schedules. Drivers are community volunteers!
