News by : (CBS sacramento) -

So one local nonprofit is stepping in.

"[The bus] just pulls up and if they don't see you standing out there or sitting out there, they go on," she said.

"We're focusing on senior and veteran transportation," he explained. "We're here to take phone calls. You book an appointment and we take you wherever you want to go."

So far, he's picked up and dropped off about ten people, taking them to anything from doctor's appointments to haircuts.

Where local bus services can't go, Sorensen can for free.

"We're still having problems with the state of California," he explained. "The Department of Justice is tying me up from some funding that the great supervisors of the county want to give us, but here's a rule that DOJ has to have us in their system and we're over 120 some days past when I applied. It's getting expensive with gas going up and such things."

All he wants is the word to get out so he can help more people.

While he's not a knight in shining armor, to Mary-Lou Burton, he might as well be.

Sorensen says as the fleet grows, so will their ability to serve more people, including the homeless, disaster survivors and first responders.

As of now, he's available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
