Human Services offices are closed until further notice.
Beyond the Borders is still providing transportation to riders for essential trips. We are doing our best to help all riders, but rides are being prioritized by those who need it most. Find out more about COVID-19 and our ongoing response.
How We Are Keeping Riders Safe


Keeping our riders, drivers and community members safe is our top priority. Vehicles are being routinely cleaned and sanitized between each ride. All Beyond the Borders drivers are required to wear a mask while transporting passengers. While we aren’t requiring riders to wear masks at this time, we strongly encourage riders to wear one if possible. Beyond the Borders will not transport riders who have tested positive for or are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19.
