​29-PSP is a 100% volunteer organization that saves the active-duty military members and their loved ones traveling on leave $500 (roundtrip) in transportation costs between the 29 Palms Marine base and USO centers at Palm Springs (PSP) & Ontario (ONT) airports. In order to provide the best transportation experience, ride requests must be submitted a minimum of 2 days in advance. Emergency exceptions are evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on driver availability.
Our volunteer drivers operate between 8 AM and 8 PM daily except some major holidays. Exceptions outside these hours are extremely limited. No service is provided on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or New Year’s Day.
