ABOUT US
-- Limited public transportation
in the nine towns within TASC’s
service area created a barrier to
accessing important health care and other basic life needs for many residents who do not own vehicles, or who are not able to drive
themselves.
TASC was started as a cooperative effort of several churches
in these communities, and some 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 associated with
any
of the partnering congregations or organizations.
TASC annual rides given to the citizens
of our NH Seacoast communities have risen from
1939 in 2007 to over 5000 rides in 2011.
TASC
was
one of five senior transportation
programs nationwide to receive the
Beverly Foundation's STAR
Award for Excellence
