About RTP

History

Established in 1976, RTP was formed by combining the transportation services provided by the Portland Chapter of the American Red Cross, York-Cumberland Senior Services and the Social Services of the Greater Portland Transit District. Today, RTP is an agency that provides low-cost transportation to the elderly, social service agency clients, the economically disadvantaged and persons with disabilities throughout Cumberland County with the exception of Brunswick and Harpswell.

With a fleet of 29+ lift-equipped buses and vans, 30 agency certified drivers and a volunteer program that involves more than 20 drivers, RTP serves over 2,500 people countywide each year, providing more than a 600 rides a day to people who need to get to medical appointments, grocery shopping, work and other important places. Located at 1 Ledgeview Dr, in Westbrook, RTP runs routes across Cumberland County each day, doing door-to-door rider pickups and drop-offs.

RTP serves 27 towns in the county. Some of the communities served include Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth, Westbrook, Gorham, Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport, Windham, Standish, Casco, Bridgton and more.

Get Involved

RTP is always looking for GREAT volunteer drivers to provide rides to people throughout Cumberland County.

Volunteer drivers use their personal vehicles and get reimbursed .50 cents per mile, including the miles traveled to-and-from your home, + any tolls and parking expenses. RTP’s volunteer drivers have good people skills, a clean, reliable vehicle, and safe driving record. Background checks are required and training is provided.
