Bergen County is teaming up
with EZ Ride to help get seniors, age 60 and over, rides to COVID-19 vaccination
appointments.
The rides will be arranged
through companies such as Lyft and Uber, under a program known as Ryde4Life, which is part of the EZ Ride
network.
The program will be coordinated through the Bergen County Division of
Community Transportation and the Division of Senior Services.
To schedule a ride, seniors
can call 201-368-5955.
Seniors must have a working cellphone with them during the
transportation service and must apply for the ride 24 hours in advance of their
appointment.
The senior will be asked to call EZ Ride at a designated number to
request transportation when approved for a ride. Seniors can have a family
member or friend accompany them on the ride.
