Need a Ride?
Transportation is vital to helping our community rise.
The Ride United Transportation Access (RUTA) Program, operated by United Way of the Mohawk Valley in partnership with Lyft Transportation, provides essential ride services to low-income individuals and families across Oneida, Herkimer, and Madison Counties in New York. This program covers transportation for a wide range of critical needs, including health/medical/mental health/substance abuse services, essential services, legal services, employment services, childcare services, education services, and housing services. United Way of the Mohawk Valley is committed to breaking transportation barriers and empowering individuals and families to access the opportunities and services they need to thrive.
Temporary Use:

Lyft Passes:
Are for clients who have devices and a credit card to download the Lyft app on their phone, clients are responsible to pay the remaining amount of the ride after the $26.00 one-way credit is used.
