Transportation Assistance for Seacoast Citizens (TASC)

What is TASC?

Transportation Assistance for Seacoast Citizens (TASC) is a volunteer-based community organization designed to mobilize and coordinate volunteers to provide rides that help transportation dependent individuals in our region live independently at home while remaining involved in their communities.

TASC provides transportation to eligible residents of eight Seacoast Communities: Exeter, Greenland, Hampton, Hampton Falls, North Hampton, Rye, Stratham, and Seabrook. Rides are available for medical and social service appointments, grocery shopping and other basic needs.  Eligible residents include senior citizens and individuals with disabilities that prevent them from driving.

TASC is a cooperative effort of various churches in these communities,. Most of TASC's volunteer drivers are members of these congregations, but rides are open to all eligible residents of TASC member communities, regardless of religious affiliation. TASC also welcomes volunteer drivers and ride schedulers who are not members of one of the partnering congregations.

Why was TASC created?

Limited public transportation in the seven towns in TASC’s service area creates a barrier to accessing health care and other basic life needs for many residents who do not own vehicles or who are not able to drive themselves.

How Do I Request Transportation Assistance?

First - You must complete a TASC registration form and send it to us. To obtain a registration form call us at 603-926-9026. Mail the form to the address below.

Next - TASC will review the form for confirmation of eligibility and contact you.

Then - Once registered, individual ride requests may be handled over the phone -  you will not need to fill out further paperwork.

When Are Rides Available?

Rides are generally available Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:00pm, though service at other times may be possible based on volunteer availability. We will make every effort arrange a ride for you, but we cannot guarantee service. So that we can have the best chance of matching you with a volunteer driver for the time you request, please call several days in advance of when you need to travel.
