'Helping Wheels' (1971-1973) determined the effects of reimbursement on a volunteer driving program and established a system of special transportation services for the elderly which was a reliable, acceptable, and economical means of transporting senior citizens. Reimbursement of 10 cents per mile to older volunteers using personal automobiles significantly increased both the number of drivers and riders. It also developed a network of transportation services, STIR (Senior Transportation in Raleigh), which resulted in reduced bus fares and discount ambulance service.
