The nationally acclaimed TRIP Program of ILP is a “rider-centered” volunteer driver service that provides rides for Palm Desert residents who are elderly and disabled, do not drive, have no family to drive for them, are unable to use public transportation alternatives, and are unable to access needed health care or other life sustaining services without our assistance. More than a “transportation” program, TRIP reconnects the isolated and alone with their neighbors and communities empowering them to remain more independent and self-reliant and live happier lives.

The mission of the Independent Living Partnership and its biggest program, TRIP, is to empower people to continue to live independently in their own homes.
