“Dignified Transportation for Seniors”
The
Independent Transportation
Network
ITN is a
nonprofit, membership organization dedicated to
helping seniors (65 and older) and the visually
impaired with their transportation needs. Using
private automobiles and both volunteer and paid
drivers, the ITN
will transport these community members 24 hours a
day, seven days a week anywhere within the
ITN service area.
Known as ITNCharlestonTrident™,
the initiative offers door-through-door,
arm-through-arm, dignified transportation service to
seniors and the visually impaired, and peace of mind
to their families. |

Service Areas:
ITN serves the populated areas of Charleston, North

additional volunteers and private resources.
Eventually, ITN will expand throughout the
tri-county area (Berkeley, Charleston and
Dorchester).
Benefits of ITN:
ITNCharlestonTrident™

level of assistance:

door-through-door customer assistance.
