Hear From Our Riders
“I was nervous at first, but Common Courtesy stayed on the phone with me until I got to my appointment. They really care.”

Who We Help
Seniors
Many older adults no longer drive and have no family nearby. We help them get to appointments, grocery stores, and social events.
“I was nervous at first, but Common Courtesy stayed on the phone with me until I got to my appointment. They really care.”

Veterans
We partner with programs like About Face USA-GA and county veteran services to get veterans to medical appointments and job opportunities.
“Common Courtesy got me to my PTSD treatment on time—every time. It’s a lifeline.”
– James R., U.S. Army Veteran
People with Disabilities
We work with individuals and agencies to provide safe, accessible transportation for people living with chronic illness, mobility challenges, or regular medical appointments.
Unhoused Neighbors
Through partners like Duluth Co-op and DeKalb DSS, we ensure people experiencing homelessness can get to shelters, food banks, and housing appointments.
Returning Citizens
With support from the City of Atlanta and the ACDC program, we help formerly incarcerated individuals reunite with their families and rebuild their lives.
“I got home from being detained with no one to call. They got me a ride and gave me a fresh start.”
