Recovery Transport and Coaching Program (RTCP)

The Sober Shuttle offers Substance Use Prevention and Education through Cost-free Transportation and Recovery Coaching Services. Transportation is a leading barrier to enter recovery and sustaining recovery. The Sober Shuttle addresses that barrier by transporting these people directly from one treatment program to the next. In addition, the Sober Shuttle provides Recovery Coach Services prior to treatment, while in transport, during treatment, and after treatment completion.

The population that the RTCP will support includes people experiencing homelessness and people with Substance Use Disorders. Included in this population are those people living in private residence, people currently in treatment, and people being released from the judicial system.

Funds attained through fundraising, donation, and grants will be utilized for fuel, insurance, registration, excise tax, sticker, tolls, and general maintenance including tune-ups, oil change/oil, tires, brakes and other general repairs.

Uber for Business (Monthly Allowance)

The Sober Shuttle has recently opened an Uber for Business account which will assist in transports to "INPATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAMS" for when Transports Specialists are already on the road and immediate attention is impossible. This account will have a monthly allowance and may not be available for all additional transports.

All persons in need of transportation must follow regular Transport Protocols when requesting transportation. Please call (617) 460-0584 to speak to a Sober Shuttle representative and in addition email us at serenitynow@sobershuttle535.com. An "Automatic Message" will be sent when your email is received. Please fill out our quick Transport Request Form and someone will get back to you. Once we receive this information Uber will be considered and person in need will be notified.

Program of Appreciation

(PoA) - Monthly Award

The Sober Shuttle introduced the Program of Appreciation as a way to recognize and appreciate City and Town services such as Police Departments and their Police Officers, Fire Departments and their Firefighters, and First Responders and their Emergency Medical Technicians.

Once a month the Sober Shuttle will donate and deliver a Box of Dunkin Donuts Coffee and a dozen of donuts to an unexpected Police, Fire, or Ambulatory Department. This award will be randomly picked and Sober Shuttle volunteers will deliver unexpectedly with gratitude and thanks for their service in their city or town, and for assistance in neighboring communities.

Matt Talbot Scholarship Award - 2025 Season

Scheduled for 2025 the Sober Shuttle will award 1 scholarship for the Matt Talbot Men's Retreat and 1 scholarship for the Matt Talbot Women's Retreat. These retreats are held at the Holy Cross Retreat House on the grounds of Stonehill College in Easton, MA. Both award recipients will be chosen from the general population. Application for this award will be sent 2 months in advance via the Sober Shuttle Facebook page, and through a group letter to all registered Newsletter recipients. All recipients of these notices will have the opportunity to respond and demonstrate their interest in attending the Matt Talbot Retreat.
