Piedmont Triad · North Carolina
The Morris Transportation Foundation provides rides at little or no cost to neighbors who cannot afford transportation — helping them reach the medical appointments, grocery stores, and jobs their daily lives depend on.
What we do
Transportation is the thread that connects people to health, food, and income. We strengthen that thread with rides for the three trips daily life requires.
To doctor’s appointments, treatment, therapy, and pharmacy pickups — so no one chooses between their health and a ride they cannot afford.
To grocery stores, food banks, and markets — so reaching food is never the hardest part of eating.
To interviews, training, and regular shifts — because work is how people build a future, and the ride should never stand in the way.
The problem we see
Appointments are skipped and rescheduled. Prescriptions go unfilled. For older adults and people with disabilities, missing a ride can mean missing a treatment.
When the nearest grocery store is miles away and no bus line reaches it, shopping becomes an expedition — and food banks are just as far.
Unreliable transportation is one of the most common reasons people miss interviews, lose shifts, or turn down work they are ready for.
Transportation is not a luxury. It is how people reach health, food, and a paycheck.
How it works
A neighbor — or a referring partner like a clinic, food bank, or employer — contacts the Foundation with a transportation need.
We confirm the need and pair it with the best way to get there: a volunteer driver, a partner organization, or a subsidized ride.
The rider gets there and gets home, with follow-up when needed — so we know the trip actually happened.
Who we serve
We serve residents of the Piedmont Triad who need transportation and cannot afford it or cannot arrange it on their own.
Neighbors who no longer drive and have no one to call for a ride.
Neighbors with limited mobility who face barriers with every trip.
Neighbors forced to choose between a ride and food, medicine, or rent.
Neighbors without a reliable car, holding onto jobs and keeping appointments.
Get involved
Every dollar becomes a mile. Grants are the backbone of our funding; your gift is the heart of it.
Give a ride to a neighbor who needs one. Recurring monthly gifts are especially welcome.
Drive a neighbor, help with ride coordination and intake, or support fundraising.
Clinics, food banks, workforce programs, employers, and faith communities refer the people they serve.
