Mobility for Life

We are a lifeline for people who need transportation with extra support. 

Seth, a young man with a developmental disability, smiles at the camera with hands stretched out wide like an eagle! There are colorful balloons behind him.Via’s accessible transportation services help people with mobility limitations — such as older adults and people with disabilities — participate in everyday activities outside the home. We go beyond taking people door-to-door in wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Our uniquely trained drivers take clients door-through-door, ensuring passengers exit their homes and are received at their destination safely.

That means you can rest assured your grandparent with dementia will be checked into the doctor’s office. Or your parent using a wheelchair will be assisted on and off our vehicles. Or your daughter with autism will be treated respectfully and compassionately to and from her workplace.

Background Statement

Caring for Colorado Communities Since 1979

Via Mobility Services is a local nonprofit founded more than 40 years ago to help people with mobility limitations live more independently. We do this by providing caring and accessible transportation in Boulder, Denver, and five other counties in Colorado. Before long, we started doing more for local communities, like operating shuttle services under contract with RTD, Colorado municipalities, and local businesses.

Accessible Transportation:

We provide accessible transportation to help older adults and people with disabilities lead more independent, self-sufficient, and joyful lives.

Transit and Contract Transportation:

Local government, organizations, businesses, and groups hire Via to fill in transportation gaps and increase transit options for all residents.

Mobility Options & Resources:

We provide alternative travel guidance and resources for people who are unable to drive or use public transit.

Community Emergency Response:

We protect lives as a second responder by transporting Boulder County residents with mobility limitations to safety.
