Getting There Safely: Senior Transportation with myride2

Getting to a doctor’s appointment, picking up groceries, visiting a friend, or making it to a family gathering may seem simple. But when driving is no longer an option, everyday trips can suddenly become stressful.

Transportation is more than getting from one place to another. It helps older adults stay independent, connected, and involved in daily life. It can also give caregivers peace of mind knowing their loved one has a safe, reliable way to get where they need to go.

That’s where MyRide2 can help. AgeWays’ MyRide2 program is a free mobility management service for older adults age 60 and older, as well as adults with disabilities. A mobility specialist can help you understand available transportation options and arrange a ride that fits your schedule, location, needs, and budget. 

“We see ourselves as a one-call/one-click mobility management service,” says LaVonna Howard, myride2’s Mobility Project Manager. “We connect with the caller, listen to their needs, and find the best and most affordable option for their transportation.”

How MyRide2 Helps Seniors and Caregivers

MyRide2 is designed to make transportation easier to understand and arrange. Instead of asking families to sort through transportation providers on their own, a mobility specialist helps identify options that may fit the person’s needs.

We can help you with:

• Accessible ride options, including wheelchair-accessible vehicles, to medical appointments, errands, grocery trips, and social visits
• Door-to-door service, with help getting into buildings when available

Please allow at least two business days to arrange a ride.

Not Using Apps or Smartphones? No Problem.

MyRide2 can schedule Lyft rides on your behalf, including:

• Collecting payment information in advance
• Scheduling rides during weekday service hours

Worried About a Loved One's Driving?
