The Area Agency on Aging 1-B (AAA 1-B) announces an innovative new mobility management service, myride2, a transportation concierge designed to help seniors and disabled adults in Oakland and Macomb Counties find transportation and get where they need to go.  

myride2 connects seniors and adults with disabilities to transportation options with just one phone call or mouse click.  You can call a myride2 Mobility Specialist, toll-free, at 855-myride2 (855-697-4332).  Let them know where you are going, when you need to be there and when you need to return.  The mobility specialist will then do the legwork for you, working with transportation services and providers in the area to find the best options for you.  This is a multi-lingual service.  For internet users, myride2 also has a website – myride2.com.  When you log on, you can search for providers serving your area, make a request online, or find safe driving information.

“For seniors and persons with disabilities, finding transportation to doctor appointments, the store, or simply to visit a friend, can be one of the biggest challenges when striving to maintain their independence,” said Roberta Habowski, “The AAA 1-B is proud to offer this new service that helps to eliminate the challenges, simplify the process and help keep individuals mobile for life.”   

myride2 is a free service.  However, there are costs for transportation which vary based on the provider and specifics of the person’s transportation needs.  myride2 does not provide the rides, but rather coordinates transportation options provided by other companies.  myride2 suggests at least two days advance notice to find and coordinate rides.  myride2 is supported by the Area Agency on Aging 1-B and Jewish Family Service.

By phone: Call 855-myride2 (855-697-4332).  Specialists are available Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
