Ride Forward by Ride Local Ride
Ride It Forward
Free rides for Yuma seniors who need them most.
Not every senior in Yuma can afford the ride to dialysis, the pharmacy, or the grocery store. Ride Forward changes that. Your gift becomes ride credits for low-income Yuma seniors — door-through-door rides with a local driver they can trust, every day of the week.

How it works
1. You give
Any amount, or sponsor a full ride. Every dollar goes to rides.
2. We verify
Our nonprofit partners verify each rider: age 60 or older, low income, Yuma-area resident.
3. They ride
Medical, pharmacy, and grocery rides first, booked like any Ride Local Ride trip. Drivers are always paid full fare.
Donate a ride
A $10 gift covers a local ride. A $50 gift covers a week of dialysis trips.
Who qualifies
You may qualify for free Ride Forward rides if you:
- are 60 or older,
- live in the Yuma area, and
- are on a limited income.
Rides are for medical appointments, pharmacy trips, and grocery shopping. Rides are given while funds last — if the fund is empty, you'll join a waitlist.

Questions
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Ride Forward is administered with our nonprofit partners. Donations are tax-deductible through WACOG (Western Arizona Council of Governments).
Where does my money go?
100% of donations go to ride credits. Ride Local Ride drivers are paid full fare from the fund, and every ride is tracked.
Who can get a free ride?
Low-income seniors, age 60 and older, in the Yuma area.
What if the fund runs out?
Rides pause and new riders join a waitlist until donations refill the fund. We never promise rides we can't fund.
