Northwest Valley Connect (NVC) is a nonprofit transportation coordination service for residents of the northwest region of the Phoenix metropolitan area. NVC was formed through a partnership of local nonprofits Sun Health and Benevilla to address the gaps in transportation services in the area. Working with government, private, nonprofit and volunteer transportation providers, NVC aims to educate the population it serves on existing transportation resources as well as provide new senior transportation options to service unmet needs. With 100,000 seniors living in the area, and a rapidly aging population, NVC is not only meeting a demand, but it is an essential ingredient to ensure citizens of the Northwest Valley are able to maintain a vibrant and independent quality of life.
