Keep Tess—and Others—Connected to Life and Community

At 16, Tess’s life changed in an instant. After a car accident and nine months in a coma, she faced a future that looked nothing like her past. But Tess didn’t give up.

With strength, community, and the right support, she rebuilt her life. She earned her certification in peer counseling and committed to living independently.

In 1987, Tess was introduced to Via Mobility Services—and everything changed again. With accessible rides, she gained the freedom to get to the gym, run errands, stay connected, and even skydive.

“Via makes me accessible to everything I want to do,” she says. “The drivers are incredible—kind, professional, and selfless.”

Mobility isn’t just about getting from point A to B. It’s about living fully. Tess’s story shows how vital that freedom is.

This Colorado Gives Day, help us make more stories like Tess’s possible.

Your donation supports reliable, inclusive transportation for people with disabilities, older adults, and others who need it most.

Mission

Via Mobility Service's mission is to promote independence and self-sufficiency for people with limited mobility by providing caring, customer-focused transportation options.

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