This program provides qualifying
Mesa residents a 44 cents per mile reimbursement for
car trips when a non-residing friend or family
member drives them. The passenger chooses their own
driver - East Valley RIDEChoice
does not assign drivers. Reimbursements are made
directly to the participating East Valley RIDEChoice passengers, who are
then required to pass along the payment to their
volunteer drivers. The Mileage Reimbursement
program is for seniors aged 65 or over and for
disabled adults aged 18 through 64 who possess a
current disability certification. Reimbursement is
limited to 300 miles per month. To receive an
application, contact
East Valley
Senior Services, Transportation at 480-962-RIDE (7433) or
