Every day, seniors and low-income families in New Brunswick face challenges accessing essential services due to transportation barriers. Urban/Rural Rides bridges this gap by offering safe, affordable rides to medical appointments, food banks, and more. Our mission thrives because of compassionate volunteers like you.
