The website is nearly complete so you will soon be able to go to www.islandrides.org and book a future trip on Lopez Island. The opinion poll to adopt the new name for county-wide recognition was successful and the new logo is shown here for the first time. Call 360-317-3107 or email islandrideslopez@gmail.com to schedule a ride on Lopez Island. A recent Innovations in Access Mobility grant is helping cover costs for this expanded service area.
As we all learn to limit our activities and carefully observe Covid-19 safety protocols, the demand for access to needed services and locations is increasing. IslandRides drivers are masked and carry masks and gloves for riders who need them. They are going to question you regarding your current and recent health status before allowing you in the vehicle and carefully disinfect surfaces afterward. It may be safer to ride with windows slightly down.
When calling the IslandRides number you will be reaching one of these new volunteer drivers: Jerry Manion, Del Guenther, Ece Kocak, Anne Trench, Fons Wynen, Ron Metcalf, Jo Bryant or leave your call-back number. This free or donation-fare transportation service is also available to bring prescriptions or prepaid supplies to your home, lowering your risk of exposure.
