Volunteer drivers are a vital resource for many programs that provide transportation services to older people and people with disabilities.

The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) presents an AARP-funded report and an online U.S. map that, by selecting a particular state, presents the laws and practices related to volunteer driver liability in that jurisdiction.
