The RIDE through Lyft
(Weber County Senior Transportation Program Through Lyft)
​
Weber Human Services’ The RIDE arranges transportation for our eligible senior clients within Weber County through Lyft. We provide transportation services for qualified seniors who have no other means of transportation to access their medical appointments or grocery shopping. This is not assisted transportation, but a curb-to-curb program. Curb-to-curb means that the driver will pull up to the curb or the end of the driveway. The individual must be able to get from his or her residence to the vehicle without assistance.
​
What is Lyft?
Lyft is a ridesharing transportation company that helps connect people wanting to go somewhere with a driver who owns a car. Weber Human Services' The RIDE arranges Lyft transportation for our qualified senior clients in Weber County cities. Our clients do not pay for the Lyft rides arranged by us. However, our clients may pay donation of $5.00 per trip ($10 per round trip) to us, Weber Human Services; a reminder statement regarding the suggested donation will be sent to clients from Weber Human Services at the beginning of each month following use of The RIDE.
Lyft drivers arranged by WHS RIDE do not accept tips.

What is UTA Paratransit?
The Utah Transit Authority’s (UTA) Paratransit Service is designed for people whose functional abilities require individualized transportation service. Trips can be scheduled in advance and provide riders with curb-to-curb transportation between home and community destinations. UTA’s paratransit includes wheelchair-accessible vans. To utilize paratransit services, riders must be approved through an in-person interview and abilities assessment.
