Senior Keys

Are you a senior citizen that...

... is less comfortable behind the wheel?

... finds yourself driving less frequently or has stopped altogether?

... has a seldom-used vehicle in your driveway that is just costing you money?

Are you a family member who…

... is concerned about the safety of your senior while driving?

... adjusts your schedule to drive your senior to most appointments and activities?

Each year, more than one million Americans aged 70 and over stop driving and become dependent on others to get where they need to go. Or they simply don’t go. And the numbers are growing rapidly.

People can remain active and independent well into their eighties, which may surpass their decision to stop driving by many years. That's too long to depend on favors from friends and family.

Senior Keys, a service of Community Transportation Network, Inc. (CTN) is an alternative to driving that addresses this problem.

Seniors enrolled in Senior Keys donate their unused cars to CTN. The value of the donated vehicle is used to start an account to pay for rides. The affordable cost for each ride is deducted from the account. Participants can then pay into the account when needed to maintain a sufficient balance to pay for trips. Monthly statements will be provided.

Passenger automobiles are driven by CTN volunteers to provide trips to seniors. Service is available Monday through Saturday, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Participants simply call in the trip request. CTN will schedule the vehicle and driver and will call the rider to confirm the arrangements.

You can help... Volunteer!

You can make a difference in someone's life! Volunteer to help by driving seniors to their appointments in a CTN owned vehicle.
We will work around your schedule as long as you have at least 2-4 hours to donate at least once per month.

We are coordinating with the Volunteer Center in Fort Wayne. If you are interested in volunteering for Senior Keys, please contact Ani at the Volunteer Center, 260-424-3505. Or you can fill out an enrollment form online. You can also print this form and mail to the Volunteer Center. When they call you, please let them know that you would like to volunteer for CTN Senior Keys.

You can also help by spreading the word that we need volunteers. You can print this volunteer recruitment poster and place where you have recived permission to do so. Churches, offices, clubs are great places to display one.
