Safe and Compassionate Transportation

CASA drivers are background-checked, trained and committed to providing children with a safe and supportive transportation experience. Drivers understand that children involved in the child welfare system may have experienced trauma and significant disruption. Every effort is made to provide transportation that is dependable, respectful and responsive to each child’s needs.

No need to worry about providing safety seats for children of any age. Safety seats for all ages are provided.

Flexible Scheduling

Ride availability is based on scheduling capacity, driver availability and the needs of the child.

Request a Ride

Use our online scheduling system to submit a transportation request. Requests are made by the person with whom the child currently resides.

Submitting a request does not guarantee that a driver will be available. Please provide as much advance notice as possible and include complete pickup, destination and contact information.

The CASA transportation program has been a lifesaver for me. I can maintain my obligations while my foster kids can still get to their appointments and visits. I know that when the kids are in the CASA car, they are safe and well cared for. I'm not introducing them to a new person every time; it is the same driver, and we have built a relationship and rapport with her, and she cares about the kids.

Stacey, Foster Parent

We couldn’t foster without the support of the CASA transportation program. Our family was able to say yes to fostering knowing this program existed and would help bridge the gap in the transportation logistics
