The recent survey of UMRA members found several comments about problems in transportation: members not involved with UMRA due to an inability to drive due to medical issues, age, metro traffic congestion, etc.

UMRA Cares about this problem for some of our members.  We are considering a series of articles, because a post-luncheon workshop isn’t going to reach people who don’t have transportation to the luncheons.

Our intrepid community researchers quickly found 12 transportation options for senior non-drivers, and we would like to hear if you have had experience (positive or negative) with services such as UBER, LYFT, HourCAR, iHail, Roseville Senior Program, NorthEast Senior Services, VEAP, or other transportation help providers.

We will gather your experiences and report or review the services for others in an article for this Newsletter and website.

Besides your experience, we would like to know if there were special qualifications or technology requirements or  advantages you found when using ride services. Thanks much, we look forward to hearing from you.
