    The Volunteer Transportation Center, Inc. (VTC), established in 1991, drives
    thousands of miles each year assisting community members in Jefferson, Lewis
    and St. Lawrence Counties. Over the last 20 years this essential non-profit
    organization has provided rides to health care appointments, grocery shopping,
    and other destinations for residents. The staff, Board of Directors and
    volunteer drivers look forward to a time when transportation to community
    activities and services is accessible to all North Country residents regardless of
    economic or special needs. But for now the mission drives on—striving to
    provide essential transportation for North Country residents who have no other
    transportation alternatives.

    The main office of the VTC is located at 203 N. Hamilton Street, Watertown,
    serving Jefferson and Lewis County residents. In late 2013 the organization
    added a second office to serve St. Lawrence County in Canton. Drivers logged
    5,011,072 miles encompassing 120,648 one way trips across the North
    Country and greater New York State.  This equates to just over 18,000 hours
    each year. This means the VTC is expected to see an increase in the number
    of miles driven and trips offered by our generous drivers in the coming months.

    The VTC relies on the generosity of volunteers who are trained and certified to
    fulfill this mission. Each driver must submit an application of interest and pass
    extensive background checks. Once the driver has completed all paperwork
    and participated in orientation, they can hit the road.

    If you are interested in giving back to the community and have a few hours free
    each week, consider becoming a volunteer driver. If you would like to become a
    volunteer driver, call John Exford, Program Director, at (315) 376-3777 or if you
