📢 Phone System Update

Community in Motion is making changes to how we manage incoming calls to our Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) Services Department. We no longer have triage staff screening calls and directing callers to different queues.

We are working on a new phone system flow that will include options for:

📞 Cancellations only
🚌 Routine trips and bus pass inquiries
☎️ General scheduling questions and assistance

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we adjust to updated reporting requirements and the changes they bring to our services and processes. We appreciate our community’s continued support as we work to make these transitions as smooth as possible! 💙

We're excited to share a new way to support Community in Motion!

It's called RoundUp.org. You're probably familiar with the concept. Every time you make a purchase, your total is rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the spare change goes to Community in Motion. Whether you're grabbing a coffee, filling the tank, or buying groceries, it all adds up to meaningful, ongoing support.

Even better: for a limited time, each new donor who signs up and rounds up for at least 3 months triggers a $25 Reward Payment for Community in Motion!

It takes 45 seconds to set up. Then it just works without changing how you spend.

🌐 https://www.roundup.org

How RoundUp works, in 3 steps:
1️⃣ Find Community in Motion via the link provided and pick us as your nonprofit.
2️⃣ Securely link the credit or debit card you spend on most.
3️⃣ Every purchase is rounded up to the next dollar, and the spare change becomes a donation to Community in Motion.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Community in Motion recognizes the Cowlitz Indian Tribe and its ongoing contributions to transportation access throughout our region.

Through its Tribal Transit Service, the Cowlitz Indian Tribe connects rural residents in South Lewis and Cowlitz Counties to essential services and community activities. Through its expanded medical transportation program, the Tribe also helps residents over age 50 and people with disabilities in rural Clark, Cowlitz, and Lewis Counties access essential services and maintain their independence.

We recognize the vital contributions of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe in expanding transportation access, improving safety and accessibility, and planning for transportation infrastructure that connects people to essential services and community destinations.

As a transportation organization serving Southwest Washington, we believe honoring Indigenous Peoples means listening, learning, respecting Tribal sovereignty, and supporting Indigenous-led priorities.

We honor the Cowlitz Indian Tribe's continued presence, leadership, and contributions to our communities, today and throughout the year.

🚶‍♀️🚲 What would change in your life if driving wasn’t an option?

Thank you to The Columbian for highlighting Week Without Driving, happening October 1–8! 🚌

For many of us, getting behind the wheel is second nature. But for people who cannot drive due to age, disability, cost, or other barriers, everyday activities like getting to a medical appointment, picking up groceries, going to work, or visiting friends can require significant time, planning, and support.

At Community in Motion, we know that access to reliable transportation helps people maintain their health, independence, and connection to their communities. 💙

Week Without Driving invites people who can drive to experience their community without relying on a personal vehicle, even if only for one trip. It's an opportunity to gain a new perspective, recognize transportation barriers, and better understand why accessible transportation options matter for everyone.

🚶‍♀️🚲🚌 Week Without Driving is October 1–8!

Earlier this week, we joined our friends at C-TRAN to recognize Week Without Driving and highlight the importance of transportation options that work for everyone in our community.

Did you know that nearly one-third of Americans don’t drive and rely on transit, walking, rolling, biking, carpooling, and other transportation options to get where they need to go?

Week Without Driving invites those of us who drive to experience our community from a different perspective and consider the barriers that non-drivers may face every day.

At Community in Motion, we believe mobility is about more than just getting from one place to another. It supports independence, health, connection, and participation in community life. 💙

Thank you to C-TRAN for recognizing Week Without Driving and for helping raise awareness about the importance of transportation choices for everyone.

Earlier this week, we joined our friends at Community in Motion to issue a proclamation recognizing October 1 to 8 as Week Without Driving. This annual initiative acknowledges the nearly one-third of Americans who don’t drive, and depend on transit, walking, rolling, biking and carpooling for transportation. During , drivers are invited to navigate our community through a different lens and experience the barriers that non-drivers may or may not face.

If you need help planning your trip, call C-TRAN Customer Service at 360-695-0123, or download the Transit app on your smartphone.

🚶‍♀️🚲 Help Shape the Future of Walking and Biking in Kelso!

The City of Kelso is developing a long-range Active Transportation Plan (ATP), a blueprint for making walking and bicycling safer, easier, and more comfortable for people of all ages and abilities.

The plan will identify projects to create a more complete and connected bicycle and pedestrian network that works for everyone.

📣 Your input matters! Community members are invited to learn about the proposed walking and biking network and share their thoughts on potential projects. Your feedback will help shape the future of transportation in Kelso.

💻 If you couldn't make it an in-person open house, an online open house is available through October 4, giving you opportunity to learn more and provide feedback.

Whether you walk, bike, roll, drive, or use public transportation, transportation choices affect all of us. Take a few minutes to share your perspective and help build a more connected Kelso.

🚶‍♀️ WEEK WITHOUT DRIVING IS COMING! 🚲🚌

What would change in your life if driving wasn’t an option?

From October 1–8, 2026, communities across the country will come together for Week Without Driving, an opportunity to experience our communities from the perspective of people who don’t drive.

For some, not driving is a choice. For others, it’s a reality. Either way, getting where we need to go shouldn’t depend on having access to a car.

Sometimes, taking a little more time gives us the chance to slow down, notice our surroundings, connect with our community, and experience transportation in a different way.

Good things take time. 💚

Stay tuned as we share more throughout Week Without Driving and explore the many ways we can walk, roll, ride, and connect right here in our community.
