At EZ Ride, we believe access to safe and affordable transportation is critical to maintain our quality of life. For older adults who no longer drive, individuals with disabilities, and lower-income workers without access to a car, transportation is often a daily challenge.

That’s why, in January 2024, we launched the “Sponsor a Ride” campaign, providing subsidized rides through Lyft and Uber at just $5 per trip for lower-income older adults. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, the program has already been a success, assisting more than 200 older adults and delivering over 5,000 rides.

Take Elizabeth from Orange, for example. Without a car, Elizabeth relies on our program to juggle work at the West Caldwell Senior Retirement Community, care for her grandchildren, and run errands. As she puts it:

“The program has given us the independence we never thought we could have without owning a car. It’s about saving money and being able to manage our lives as a family without relying on others.”

Elizabeth’s story is just one of many. For countless older adults, this program is a lifeline, providing access to employment, healthcare, and everyday necessities like grocery shopping.

But the need is great, and we can’t do it without you. By sponsoring a ride, you can help ensure that seniors in our community have access to the transportation they need to live independently and with dignity.
