Drive Happiness is a non-profit organization that manages the DRAV program.
Through grant funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Drive Happiness was able to expand to offer the DRAV program, which offers folks in Northwestern Alberta free transportation to vaccine-specific appointments. The DRAV program is funded until March 2023.
Drive Happiness started with the purpose of assisting seniors (aged 65 or older) in maintaining an independent lifestyle that enables them to remain in their own homes through the Seniors Assisted Transportation Program. The program requires an affordable fee for service without an end date. The rides are not restricted to vaccine appointments, and can be used for purposes like grocery shopping or visiting a loved one.
