STRIDE is: Specialized Transportation Referral & Information for the Disabled and Elderly STRIDE MEMBERS STRIDE's Mission: To provide a referral service with comprehensive information of specialized transportation providers designed to improve access to communities and to enhance the quality of life of seniors and persons with disabilities. About STRIDE: In February 2001, STRIDE was founded to establish a web-accessible database of specialized transportation information in San Diego County by representatives of North County Lifeline, Inc. ; the Coordinated Transportation Service Agency (CTSA) ; Del Mar Community Connections ; Redwood Senior Homes and Services ; and Vista Out and About. Data collected in the fall of 2001 constitute the core of the STRIDE database. This database was updated in 2008. Aging and Independence Services (AIS) joined the STRIDE Steering Committee in September 2001 after contracting through the transportation demonstration project to fund the website design and implementation. The development of the STRIDE database and website was supported by the contribution of technical services from: DataSkill, a San Diego-based web systems integrator; INFO LINE, the Information & Referral service based at United Way; and InfoTAP, San Diego Technology Assistance Program, A division of Nonprofit Management Solutions. You are encouraged to visit their websites and learn more about these organizations.
