Ricochet's Shuttle

Daily Support on the Move

Thanks to the generous support of Desjardins – Caisse de l’Ouest-de-l’Île, Ricochet now operates a dedicated van, making essential services more accessible to people experiencing homelessness or extreme vulnerability across the West Island.

This shuttle service helps overcome the challenges of distance and transportation, improving access to:

Ricochet’s services;
Local support centres;
Medical appointments;
Housing viewings;
Social reintegration activities.

The shuttle plays a key role in supporting beneficiaries based on their individual needs: each trip is designed to provide flexibility, dignity and meaningful daily support.

How does the shuttle service work?

The Ricochet shuttle operates on demand and is adapted to each individual’s situation. It also provides daily transportation to shelters or other essential resources, Monday through Friday.

When the Ricochet Center is full, we make sure no one is left without assistance:
A meal is provided and transportation is arranged to another temporary shelter.

At every stop (day and evening), we also offer:

Outreach by foot or by shuttle to identify people experiencing homelessness;
Material support as needed: bus tickets, food, clothing, prevention supplies (condoms, tampons, naloxone, etc.).
