ITN has just
arrived in Watertown. The service gives families and the community
CHOICE through an original mobility option to enhance life for members across
the Greater Boston region. This 24/7/365 caring, affordable car service for
seniors 60 years and older and adults with visual impairments leverages the
kind support of many volunteer drivers in each part of our service area. These
men and women who are active retirees, mothers with young kids or college
students increase their own life meaning by seeing what a difference they are
making when they can help a local resident get on with their day to day
activities - shopping, doctor's appointment, going to the Library, heading to
play bridge and more. The commitment is simple, flexible and comes with 2 free
memberships and ride credits for the driver or a family member.
