Kimochi Transportation Services
Group rides available (ridership per van is limited).
Door-to-door Transportation Services are offered to seniors who find it difficult or are unable to use public transportation. Transportation Services staff drive and escort individuals and groups from their homes to Kimochi program sites. Other transportation, including trips to grocery stores and medical appointments, can be arranged. The general service area is San Francisco’s Japantown, Western Addition, Richmond and Sunset districts.
Our Kimochi drivers possess a valid Class B Passenger Endorsed Driver’s License and undergo Standard First Aid/Adult CPR Certification and Passenger Assistance Safety and Sensitivity (PASS) training. Our ADA-certified wheelchair-accessible fleet includes buses, minivans, and cars, and we match each trip with the appropriate vehicle based on individual transportation needs.
