Out & About Transportation Volunteer Driver Application Packet
Thank you for considering Encinitas Out and About Senior Transportation for your
volunteer services. Our volunteers offer their time by driving eligible seniors over the

in their homes longer. The program is a great way to give back to your community.
Volunteers can donate as little as two hours per week or as many as forty.
The Program offers flexibility to accommodate your schedule

offers mileage reimbursement to our volunteers. For every mile you drive a registered
Out & About passenger, you will be reimbursed at the annual IRS rate.
