Senior Shop and Ride Share
A community transportation support initiative developed by Cadillac Inc. Car Club of Muskegon, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, and surrounding West Michigan communities.
Our mission is to help seniors maintain independence, dignity, and quality of life by improving access to essential transportation services throughout the community.
