At Onward, we believe transportation should be about more than simply moving people from point A to point B. For many older adults, individuals with disabilities, and those facing health challenges, a ride represents dignity, independence, and connection. As a Companion Driver with Onward in the Inland Empire, you can help make that possible.
San Bernardino and Riverside Counties are known for their vibrant neighborhoods, diverse communities, and wide-open spaces — but getting around isn’t always easy for everyone. With long travel distances, heavy traffic, and limited public transit in many areas, countless residents face daily mobility challenges. That’s where our Companion Drivers step in—not just as drivers, but as caregivers, companions, and community supporters..

THE ONWARD DIFFERENCE IN SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES
Life in the Inland Empire offers sunshine, mountain views, and tight-knit communities — but for many residents, it also comes with mobility challenges. Older adults in 55-plus communities may need help getting to the grocery store. Patients visiting Loma Linda University Medical Center, Riverside Community Hospital, or Kaiser Permanente facilities rely on dependable transportation for ongoing treatments. And many grandparents need assistance getting to family gatherings.
As a Companion Driver, you help make all of those everyday moments possible. You might start your morning with a pickup in Riverside for a physical therapy appointment in Corona, then help a patient in San Bernardino get to their weekly dialysis session, and later escort a grandmother in Redlands to a birthday celebration. Throughout the day, you provide more than a ride — you offer conversation, reassurance, and a trusted presence people come to rely on.
This is purpose-driven work that fits your schedule and makes a difference for people across Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
