VTA allocates $650K to further expand RYDE car service program for seniors

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority has authorized more than half a million dollars to expand a car service for seniors into some areas of San Jose and Morgan Hill.

Reach Your Destination Easily, or RYDE, is a local program that provides rides to residents 65 years and older in an effort to combat senior isolation and help them get to doctor appointments, grocery stores and access other necessities.
