Survey Results
From a rider survey, we gained powerful insights into how Danny’s Ride is making a difference.
From the riders:
“Danny’s Ride has been the best thing in the world. Before it was very nerve wracking trying to find a ride. I have no license and I live 40 minutes away from the testing facility. I would constantly worry about going back to jail if I couldn’t make it to a test. Having Danny’s Ride has been a huge benefit. I would not have been able to complete the treatment court program without Danny’s Ride being available to me.”
“Danny’s Ride helped me attend NA meetings when I moved to Allentown and helped me make it to and from work and interviews.”
“I didn’t have to walk in the cold and snow which is a big support for me as I have a lot of physical issues.”
