Envoy America, The First National Ridesharing Service for the Elderly, expands to Toledo and Dayton, Ohio, and is Hiring 200 Companion Drivers
Scottsdale-based Envoy America, a specialized ridesharing program offering transportation, assistance, and companionship services for older adults, patients, and individuals with mobility issues, announced today its expansion into the Toledo and Dayton markets. The company is actively hiring 200 Companion Drivers, offering them the opportunity to make a meaningful difference while earning competitive pay.
Envoy America has been transforming the ridesharing industry with a focus on the aging population, one of the fastest-growing demographics in the country. Ohio marks Envoy America’s 30th expansion outside Arizona, with nearly 10 additional states slated for expansion in 2024.
Unlike standard transportation services, Envoy America provides door-to-door assistance, including helping clients with errands, appointments, and daily activities. All drivers undergo specialized training and are mature adults themselves, making them uniquely qualified to understand and cater to their clients’ needs.
Drivers for Envoy America benefit in several keyways:
- Competitive Pay: Drivers can earn more relative to other gig-economy jobs, with compensation based on the time it takes to deliver the service, including any wait time when accompanying clients.
- Flexible Schedules: As independent contractors, drivers have the flexibility to set their own schedules, allowing them to balance work with personal commitments.
- Meaningful Work: Drivers provide a vital service that helps older adults maintain their independence, stay healthy, and remain socially active. This meaningful work offers drivers the satisfaction of making a positive impact in their communities.
- Comprehensive Training: All drivers receive specialized training to ensure they can meet the needs of their clients, enhancing their skills and professional development.
Co-founder and CEO K. C. Kanaan developed this service to care for his own aging parents, who lost the ability to drive and, with it, their independence. “I created Envoy America so that my mom and people like her would never have to worry about where they wanted to go,” said Kanaan. “We understand that older adults and patients need reliable, safe, door-to-door transportation that comes at a specified time, is affordable, and provides polite, compassionate, professional service. That’s what we deliver every single time.”
With the increasing demand for transportation services in Dayton and Toledo, Envoy America is set to make a significant impact. “We recognize the growing need for safe, reliable transportation in these markets, and we are excited to meet that need,” said Jimmy Severson, COO of Envoy America. “Our commitment to paying drivers competitively and ensuring the safety of every ride is at the heart of what we do. We are eager to welcome new drivers to our team and make a positive difference in the communities of Dayton and Toledo.”
