Join Maine's Driving Force - The DAV Transportation Network!
The DAV Transportation Network is looking for drivers to fill their Sanford, Down East, Rumford and Aroostoock County routes, providing rides to the Togus VA Medical Facility for local Veterans. You don't need to be a Veteran. You just need to have the desire to help Maine Veterans, while traveling through our beautiful state. DAV has recently replaced two 2011 E-350 vans with two Ford Explorers.​ With this upgrade to our fleet, "Maine's Driving Force" of volunteer drivers continues to provide safe, reliable (and stylish!) rides to the men and women who served. Become a DAV Driver! Go to: https://www.facebook.com/DAVVTN to learn how!New DAV Ford Explorer.jpg
