Pilot Program Will Assist in Transporting People to Problem-Solving Court Mandated Appointments

  • Date: 06/29/2023

The Chester County Department of Adult Probation, Parole & Pretrial Services is partnering with the non-profit Danny’s Ride in a pilot program that will provide transportation services for justice involved individuals who must attend problem-solving court appointments. Danny’s Ride, as the program is called, overcomes the transportation challenge faced by those who must attend Chester County Drug Court, Recovery Court, Mental Health Court, or Veterans Court. One of the most significant issues for justice-involved individuals – especially in Chester County – is transportation to court-mandated appointments that are essential to recovery.

Danny’s Ride was started in 2020 by Nancy Knoebel to honor her son Danny Teichman who died in 2016 after taking kratom to manage withdrawal symptoms. The non-profit was founded as a form of non-emergency medical transportation that will serve as the infrastructure for ride scheduling through Uber Health and Lyft Concierge.
