RPYC Transportation
transportation signup:

Based on several requests from our members who find driving at night to be a challenge the RPYC Board has approved offering a transportation service for select events. We will be offering this service on a trial basis.

We have contracted with a private limo company to provide door-to-door transportation service and they will pick you up at your home and return you home after our monthly dinner meetings and other select events. If interested you must reserve your spot for this service before the end of the day on the Friday before the next scheduled meeting/event (ie. Sept. 7th)

This service will be provided by RPYC as a courtesy and at no charge, however, if after you reserve and you do not cancel before the deadline date or fail to show up for your ride you will be billed a minimum of $50.00 to cover the cost of the time allotted by the limo company.

If you are interested, we ask that you let us know
make a transportation reservation below
ASAP so we can give the company the proper information and to advise you of your pick-up time at your individual location. When you make your reservation
please indicate what event you wish transportation for
and we will follow up with a phone call with you to confirm your reservation
