The Friendship Center maintains a fleet of 9 vehicles. Our fleet of safe, reliable vans provides transportation for Seniors and the disabled throughout Montgomery County. Our drivers are caring, respectful individuals who enjoy interacting with those entrusted to their care.
Funding assistance is provided through grants from the Houston-Galveston Area Council on Aging, The Montgomery County United Way, Montgomery County Commissioner's Court and Community Development, and The Texas Department of Transportation.
Passengers are required to complete an in-take form for assistance in maintaining accurate records and to provide the needed information for transportation services. There are no fees required, but a donation is requested to assist with operational costs.
Services include:
- Wheelchair accessible vans/buses;
- Transportation for routine and specialized medical appointments, including Dialysis, physical therapy and rehabilitation;
- Transportation to business appointments, the post office, grocery and other essential shopping needs;
- Field trips to local and regional attractions including movie theatres, concerts, and shopping destinations; and
- Transportation to each of our centers for activities and a meal
