Our Mission:

We connect people in need with transportation and travel support, helping them navigate San Diego safely and with dignity.

Our Impact

We provide over 200,000 free trips each year to those who need them the most.

Over 2,000 extremely low-income older adults in San Diego County receive regular rides for necessary medical appointments, cancer treatments, dialysis, radiation, grocery shopping, and social outings. Survivors of domestic violence are provided with life-saving transportation and support.

Travelers Aid Society of San Diego

A century-old social services organization which proudly serves as part of the fabric of San Diego's safety net. Since our humble beginnings in 1901, we've grown and adapted with the changing needs of San Diego's most vulnerable populations.

Numbers That Speak

We’ve assisted hundreds of thousands of San Diegans in need with help, advice, transportation, and compassionate care since 1901.
