Senior Transportation

Helping Seniors Get Where They Need to Go in Southeast Michigan

Transportation can be a key factor in maintaining independence for seniors, whether it’s for medical appointments, shopping, or visiting loved ones. When seniors can no longer drive—or family members are concerned about their ability to do so—AgeWays myride2 offers solutions. This service provides support to seniors in Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties, helping them find and arrange the transportation they need to stay active and engaged in their communities.

Myride2 is a mobility management service that assists seniors and adults with disabilities in finding low-cost transportation options. Whether it’s wheelchair-accessible rides, door-to-door service, or help with getting into buildings, we have a variety of options available. The service acts as a one-call/one-click concierge, taking the stress out of arranging transportation. Though we help coordinate rides, the rider is responsible for paying for the transportation services used.

“We see ourselves as a one-call/one-click mobility management service,” says LaVonna Howard, myride2’s Mobility Project Manager. “We connect with the caller, listen to their needs, and find the best and most affordable option for their transportation.”

A Lyft Partnership for Easier Transportation Access

One of the newest features of myride2 is a partnership with Lyft, the app-based ride service. This makes transportation even easier for seniors who may not be familiar with technology or uncomfortable entering payment details online. Myride2 collects the rider’s payment information and arranges rides between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays. This option can be more affordable than traditional taxis, making it a valuable resource for same-day trips.

Help for Caregivers Worried About a Loved One’s Driving Ability

For families concerned about a loved one’s driving ability, myride2 offers additional support. Mobility specialists can guide caregivers on recognizing signs that a senior may need to stop driving, such as:

• Scrapes or dents on the vehicle or garage

• Trouble navigating or near misses while driving

• Confusion, difficulty turning when backing up, or other signs of unsafe driving

• Accidents or honking from other drivers

• Difficulty maintaining the travel lane or confusing the brake and gas pedals

In addition to identifying warning signs, myride2 mobility specialists can assist with completing forms to request a driver assessment through Michigan’s Secretary of State office—anonymously, if desired—and help develop a mobility plan for seniors when it’s time to stop driving.
