Who We Are

The American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people who have cancer and do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need.



Patients must be traveling to a cancer-related medical appointment. Other eligibility requirements may apply. For example, a caregiver may need to accompany a patient who cannot walk without help or is under age 18. Specific requirements may change per availability in areas.

It can take several business days to coordinate your ride, so please call (800) 227-2345 well in advance of your appointment date to find a ride near you!
