Volunteer as a Driver
Our volunteer drivers are the heart and the backbone of our organization. Those who choose to become volunteer drivers with Urban/Rural Rides are offering much more than a drive – they are offering independence, security, and the ability to remain connected in their community.
If you’re interested in joining Urban/Rural Rides as a volunteer driver, we’d love to hear from you! Drivers must be 21 years old or older, possess a valid New Brunswick driver’s license, have an RCMP background check, possess a registered vehicle (or vehicles) that are clean and presentable with valid safety inspections, possess supplemental insurance that is reimbursed by Urban/Rural Rides (contact us for more details.)
We ask that our volunteers be available a minimum of 4 hours per month. However, none of our drivers are expected to devote long periods to this service or to disrupt their personal schedules. Drivers are community volunteers!
Give us a call, Step 1 is to fill out the Drivers Application Form Online or download and complete the form below and Email, mail or fax them to us. Once we receive the registration form, someone will reach out to you and help you with the supporting documents needed.
GENERAL
- Volunteer drivers will keep a mileage log and will submit it to the ride coordinator by the end of every month. We will reimburse the volunteer .50 cents per km.
- All information is confidential–the volunteer driver will need to sign an oath of confidentiality form.
- The volunteer will have to sign a request form for a criminal background check, an emergency contact form, and the volunteer will need to supply proof of insurance (for minimum $2-million coverage).
- Urban/Rural Rides will reimburse the cost of coverage up to $80.00 for drivers who volunteer at least half a day per week for 6 months.
- If the oath has been breached, the volunteer driver will be terminated. In the event of a lawsuit, Urban/Rural Rides will not be responsible.
