Nearly half of the American population can’t access reliable public transportation, but United Way is working with ride-sharing company Lyft and General Motors to help change that. All three are partnering in the “Ride United” initiative that will help these individuals overcome transportation barriers through the power of the 211 network, a public works telephone number that serves as a launching point for those in need of community services.
Through the Ride United program, eligible clients who don’t have access to any other transportation will be able to call 211 and schedule free rides through Lyft. The United Way and its partners are also working hand in hand with community stakeholders to help improve overall access to transportation for these individuals.
