What we do
Individual Rides
Volunteer drivers provide rides for non-driving older adults, 65 years of age and over for medical appointments and grocery shopping. Service is available Monday to Friday if a volunteer is available and requests can be one-way or round-trip.
Community Rides
Weekly scheduled community rides are provided by our driving staff for adults 65 and over to area grocery stores, fitness and wellness classes and other planned outings.
Thanks to Austin-based musician Jeff Plankenhorn, for the use of his song “Love is Love” in Chariot’s new video.

We received a beautiful note today from one of our amazing clients. This comes with a special thank you to the YMSL mother/son volunteer group - an outstanding group of people sharing the importance of philanthropy. She said, "Thank you for the beautiful orchid plant and the yummy pumpkin cake! The orchid plants is still blooming as I write this note. 12 weeks and 4 days later! I also want to thank Drive a Senior for the dedicated service to the Austin Community and a special thank you to all of the volunteers for their selfless efforts." 🥰🥰🥰🥰
