Need a Ride … Share a Ride
Would you like to attend UMRA-sponsored monthly meetings and local trips but don’t always have transportation, do not feel comfortable driving any longer, or cannot drive due to some limitation?
Are you willing to share a ride with a member in need of transportation on either a short-term or regular basis to help a fellow retiree? Are you looking for others who live near you to share driving?
Disclaimer: Ride Share is intended to help you make connections for the purpose of sharing rides to UMRA events. Drivers and riders volunteer to participate and need to be aware of any particular risks associated with ride sharing, including, but not limited to adequate insurance, acceptable driving records, vehicle safety and road conditions. UMRA is not responsible for any personal or property damage caused directly or indirectly by the information provided by members using this service or for their optional participation.
Some members are not able to take advantage of UMRA offerings, like trips and monthly meetings, because they lack a car or have challenges driving.
Others live outside the local area and would take advantage of UMRA programs if they could share a ride with someone. Sharing a ride is a great way to make new friends.
Please consider helping by adding your name.
