County of San Diego, California sent this bulletin at 04/23/2020 07:26 AM PDT
Dear Community Partners,
We are happy to share the Ride Well to Age Well Guide: Special COVID-19 Edition, a resource guide to transportation services available during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Ride Well to Age Well Guide was produced by team members of Age Well San Diego, the County of San Diego’s initiative to make our communities even better places for people of all ages to live and thrive. Our Age Well San Diego Transportation Team has the goal of making transportation more accessible for people of all ages. The Special COVID-19 Edition aims to provide timely information about transportation services, but due to rapid changes in programs and policies we suggest contacting the listed transportation providers directly for up to date information.
The Ride Well to Age Well Resource Guide contains the following sections:
- Key Transportation Resources: Learn about the region’s popular transportation programs and agencies.
- Service Types: Learn more about the different levels of assistance available to riders.
- Find Your Next Ride: Transportation providers are listed according to the region(s) they serve. Learn about associated costs, eligibility requirements, level of assistance, and usage restrictions. Changes to programs due to COVID-19 are noted.
- Technical Guide to Smartphone Apps: Instructions on how to search for and download apps on an iPhone or Android.
- Transit and Transportation Apps: List of free transit and transportation apps for download, such as Uber and Lyft.
- Transportation Glossary: Familiarize yourself with general transit and transportation terms.
- Improving Transportation in Our Region: Learn more about the County’s efforts to improve access to transportation.
Please feel free to share with your networks.
