AFFORDABLE LYFT RIDES FOR YOUR LOCAL TRAVEL NEEDS! Lin Palmer is thrilled with her newfound freedom. As someone who identified as “technology challenged”, she never thought she would use her smartphone for anything other than phone calls. After learning how to use the Lyft app and taking Lyft rides to and from dialysis, she proclaimed “Where has this service been all my life!” Lin was initially hesitant to sign up for Ride-On Tri-City’s subsidized Lyft service. She was worried that the drivers wouldn’t help to stow her walker or that she would make a mistake requesting a ride through the app. Lin’s concerns were eased after learning that Ride-On Tri-City! had provided 81,000+ subsidized Lyft rides over the past five years, and that the program’s frequent riders included individuals in their 90’s as well as young adults who are blind. Lin was surprised how easy it was to request rides through the app. She pays $4 per ride and can take up to 30 subsidized rides per month. The biggest benefit of the service according to Lin: “I request my ride and 5-10 minutes later, my Lyft ride arrives. No more waiting around!” To apply for Ride-On Tri-City! services, visit: city.fremont.gov/rideontricityapply For more information, visit: city.fremont.gov/rideontricity or call: 510-574-2053 Ride-On Tri-City! receives Measure BB funds through the Alameda County Transportation Commission.
