We Help You Get Around!
Thanks to funding from the South West LHIN's Aging at Home Strategy, ONE CARE is the Lead Agency for EasyRide - a transportation service shared by six Community Support agencies across Huron & Perth counties. By teaming up and sharing our vehicles and drivers we can offer frequent and flexible door to door service. Now one number will get you door to door with our new EasyRide services.
"EasyRide is fabulous! The Transportation Coordinators and drivers are wonderful. This has been a very positive experience!"
