What to do if I live 3 hours away from my son and his my mom and I have been meeting half way for about 2 1/2 years but now she doesn’t want to drive anymore?
Can she just make me drive the whole way or not see him?

The answer to your question depends on whether or not there is a court order. If there is NO court order, then she can refuse to drive and can refuse to let you see the kids at all.
If there is a court order, she has to follow it as it's written.
I would suggest that if there is not a court order, or if it doesn't provide for custody exchanges and transportation--that you should apply for a court order.
Best of luck.
