How Sponsor-A-Ride Works

There are three meaningful ways you can make an impact:

  • Book a Ride for Someone Else
  • Make a One-Time Donation to the Sponsor-A-Ride Fund
  • Make a Recurring Monthly Donation to the Sponsor-A-Ride Fund

Know someone in need of transportation? You can book and pay for a ride on their behalf—simple, direct, and impactful. Simply complete the scheduling form online and then check “Add a Note”. Just add the name of the passenger for pickup.

Make a one-time or recurring donation to the Sponsor-A-Ride Program. Your contribution goes directly toward providing rides for:

  • Seniors and fixed-income individuals
  • Veterans
  • People with disabilities
  • Individuals facing temporary financial hardship
  • Anyone in our community who needs a safe ride but can’t afford one

Every dollar helps put someone in the passenger seat.

Giving the Gift of a Safe Ride

At Satchmo Taxi, we believe transportation should never be a barrier to safety, dignity, or opportunity. That’s why we created the Sponsor-A-Ride Program—a community-powered initiative that provides safe, reliable taxi rides to individuals who otherwise may not be able to afford one.

Whether it’s a ride to work, a medical appointment, the grocery store, or home safely at night, your generosity helps someone get where they need to go.

Our Commitment

  • 100% of Sponsor-A-Ride donations are used to provide rides
  • Rides are fulfilled by John Redmon, Owner & Operator of Satchmo Taxi
  • Every ride is delivered with professionalism, safety, and respect
  • Local impact, right here in the Colorado Springs community

Why Sponsor-A-Ride Matters

Transportation isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. A missed ride can mean:
  • A missed doctor’s appointment
  • Lost work opportunities
  • Unsafe travel situations
  • Increased isolation

Sponsor-A-Ride restores access, dignity, and peace of mind. When you sponsor a ride, you’re not just funding transportation—you’re investing in people.
