Eligibility 

This free service is available to Martin County residents or clients of a participating agency who need transportation for any of the following areas:

• Health appointments
• Employment opportunities
• Procurement of food
• Educational
• Legal
• Housing
• Economic stability

Client must be a Martin County resident and 18 years of age or accompanied by an adult.

Restrictions

• Client cannot alter the route to do other business/errands without consent from the requesting agency and UWMC. These rides are meant for a single or round-trip ride to and from the destination.   
• The maximum limit is $25 each way, with exceptions for emergency situations. Every effort will be made to accommodate as many rides as the grant will provide.
• This grant is purposefully designed with low barriers to access services. As per the grant recommendations, there is no income level to be eligible to participate in this program. However due to current funding restraints, rides are scheduled on a case-by-case basis. 

Rides may be canceled up to one hour before the scheduled trip without any cancellation fees. Cancellations can be made directly by the rider or by contacting United Way for assistance. While no charges are applied to the participating agency or client, late cancellations and no-shows do result in fees charged to United Way and reduce the total number of trips available through the grant.

Please note: missing more than three scheduled rides will result in a 30-day suspension from the program.

After clicking the link, you'll be redirected to a Lyft page in your browser.

Double-check the pickup location and destination for accuracy, then tap “Request now.”

A pop-up will appear reminding you to only request your ride when you're ready to leave.

Tap “Request” only when you're ready to leave. 

NOTE: We suggest requesting the ride 15-30 minutes prior to when you want to be at your destination. 

Once you request the ride, you’ll see a screen indicating that Lyft is searching for a nearby driver.

After a driver accepts your ride, your Lyft screen will refresh, and you’ll receive another automated text message with the:

• Driver’s name and phone number
• Vehicle make, model, and license plate
• Estimated pickup time and map location

NOTE: Please be ready and waiting outside at your designated pickup location when the driver arrives.

If you do not receive a text message, you may have Lyft or unknown senders blocked on your phone.

If this happens, United Way will be notified and will contact you to help you adjust your settings and resend the link.
