Implement transportation programs and services that enhance the quality of life, regional mobility and economic opportunity for people in our area.
Our MissionDear Friends,
From work and education to life-sustaining health care and human services programs to shopping and visiting with family and friends, mobility directly affects our quality of life.
Transportation is expensive.
The average American tends to peg transportation costs with public transit. Most transit riders assume the fare they pay covers the cost of their trip. In reality, the ticket pays for 50 percent or less of the operating expenses, and taxpayer dollars subsidize the rest. Even Uber and Lyft lose money on rides and have not been profitable to date. Investor reports reveal Uber riders pay only 41 percent of the full cost of each trip, with investors footing the remaining 59 percent.
EZ Ride strives to offer transportation programs at an affordable price or free to the rider by teaming up with our public and private partners and sharing the costs.
Our shuttle programs take advantage of public funds, where available, and encourage businesses to share the service and further lower the costs. The Ryde4Life program with Lyft and Uber in Essex County is offered free of charge to residents–fully funded by the County. NJ Transit partially funds our transportation services for riders with disabilities. Our carpool and vanpool programs are probably the most cost-effective commute modes because of the economics of sharing. And thanks to funding provided by the NJ Department of Transportation, our bicycle and pedestrian team works with close to 200 communities every year to encourage safe walking and biking.
We are pleased to report that our transportation programs provided more than 700,000 rides this year and are grateful to our partners who contributed to our success and enhanced our effectiveness. Thanks to the talent and dedication of our staff and Board of Trustees for yet another banner year.

SHUTTLES
BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION ...for commuters accessing public transit
Shuttles are expensive, and the annual cost could be as high as $150,000. EZ Ride partners with NJ Transit and private corporations to set up shuttle services and share the costs. In most cases, riders do not pay any fares.
The Rutherford-Lyndhurst shuttle uses two minibuses to serve several residential Lyndhurst communities – The Station, The Union, The Winston and Vermella Lyndhurst – as well as local businesses, such as Barnes & Noble and H-Mart. These groups share the cost with NJ Transit and help residents / employees access public transit at the Rutherford and Lyndhurst train stations. 5 |

For EZ Ride shuttles, it is all about affordable access to public transportation.While access to public transit is important for many commuters, not every person can afford or wants to live next to a train or bus station, and, of course, not every new residential development is near a bus or train station. For these commuters who live or work beyond walking distance from a bus or train station, a shuttle is the answer for easy and convenient access to public transit.
The Rutherford-Lyndhurst shuttle is a classic example of a shuttle service where multiple businesses use the service and share the cost. The service was launched in 2008 – thanks to seed funding from the former New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (NJMC). The shuttle links the businesses and the residential communities located at the Meadowlands Corporate Center in Lyndhurst with the train stations at Rutherford and Lyndhurst as well as the bus stop at the intersection of Rutherford and Polito Avenue in Lyndhurst.
The service is now funded by a combination of public and private sector funds that include NJ Transit, residential communities such as The Station, The Union, The Winston and Vermella Lyndhurst as well as businesses including Barnes & Noble and H-Mart. The program has grown and now uses two minibuses to provide more than 60,000 passenger trips every year.
Some of our shuttle services are funded by a single organization, such as Hartz Mountain Industries at Harmon Meadow, which has more than two million square feet of office space, a robust and vibrant retail complex as well as multi-unit rentals. The costs of the shuttle service are shared with all the tenants.
Our long-term goals are to balance affordability with the financial sustainability of our shuttle services and increase the number of businesses sharing the costs while ensuring we do not sacrifice the quality of the service.
”While the shuttle service is very important to us, doing it on our own is a non-starter – too expensive and time consuming – and we do not have the resources to coordinate the effort with other potential partners or deal with emergencies such as a vehicle breaking down or a driver not showing up. We are not in the shuttle business and why would we want to go it alone? Of course, since multiple businesses in our area share the shuttle service, it is geared to serve all the participants and some sacrifices have to be made. We are pleased to work with EZ Ride that has extensive experience in operating shuttles and building the relationships to bring potential partners together, access public funds where available, and provide the kind of service that we need. The shuttle is definitely a selling point for our new tenants, and having access to public transit make a huge difference.

RYDE4LIFE
BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION ...for older adults and lower-income workers
While the rides provided by our Ryde4Life program for New Jersey seniors, which was launched in partnership with Lyft and Uber, has increased in the last 12-months by 50 percent from 10,000 to 15,000, we have lost 11 percent or 70 of our riders for just one reason: price.
In December 2018, after a stressful driving experience in inclement weather, Mr. Meltzer decided that driving alone was just not worth it. He has taken more than 50 rides in the last five months and spent over $600. Cost is a concern for riders like him because of the large number of trips he has to take for his medical appointments. 9 |
For the Ryde4Life program, the challenge can be summed up in one word: affordability.The Ryde4Life program is very popular with older adults because no advance reservation is required and riding in a sedan is far more comfortable than a minibus. However, the cost of the ride posed a financial burden for most of our riders who live on a fixed income and cannot always afford the ride.
In early 2019, EZ Ride teamed up with Essex County to provide rides for older adults, when the County paratransit systems could not meet the need either because of capacity constraints, late hours of operations or late requests for a ride.
The process is simple: the County’s paratransit operator, TransDev, provides EZ Ride with a list of riders with their pickup and drop-off time and locations a day before the rides are required. The following day, the riders call EZ Ride directly to request their ride. Our Coordinators use Lyft and Uber to provide the service. At the end of the month, the County is billed the actual cost of the ride plus an additional $2.50 per ride.
In the first three months of service (April – June, 2019) , the program has provided more than 800 rides. The average trip length was six miles, which took 18 minutes to complete and cost an average of $16. Two of every three riders were women. The success of the Essex County program was largely due to the fact that the rides were provided at no cost to the rider.
Typically, NJ Transit commuters only pay 50 percent of the operating costs. We believe that older adults, passengers with disabilities and lower-income residents living in areas with little or no public transportation should get at least the same 50 percent discount on the community transport services available. Our experience in transporting older adults suggests that the average trip cost is $14. The 50 percent discount would reduce the price to $7, which is comparable to the cost of a ride provided by a volunteer driver using a company vehicle. The subsidy could be limited to a specific number of trips a month.
“In March 2019, Essex County decided to implement the Ryde4Life program to augment the County paratransit services, especially on late evenings and weekends. Funding for the pilot program was provided in equal amounts by NJ Transit and Essex County. The program has been an immediate and overwhelming success, and the number of rides has gradually increased to nearly 40 rides a day. And at $16 per trip, the cost is far less than our paratransit trip costs. Our goal in Essex County is to eliminate the transportation barrier and improve the quality of life for our seniors. We are very pleased with the services provided by EZ Ride and look forward to further expanding the program and making it a regular feature on our menu of transportation options.”

WALKING & BICYCLING
BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION ...for people walking and bicycling
In 2019, our bicycle and pedestrian team worked with more than 38,000 students in approximately 200 New Jersey communities to promote sustainable community transportation by encouraging safe walking and bicycling.
Pictured above are the leaders from the Orange School District; the Healthy Orange Coalition; Park Avenue Elementary School; Mayor Dwayne Warren and City Officials from the Police, Fire, Economic Development, Planning & Engineering, and Communications Departments; the NJ SRTS Resource Center; Voorhees Transportation Center; and North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, who all worked together with EZ Ride to conduct a Safe Routes to School walkability audit. In May 2019, the partnership used the results from the audit to apply for and win a $1 million Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Grant. 13 |
For the Bicycle and Pedestrian program, the challenge is simple: limited resources and overwhelming needs.The City of Orange Township is 2.2 square miles and is home to approximately 30,000 residents, of whom 72 percent are black, 13 percent are white, 10 percent are other races, three percent are mixed race, and two percent are Asian. And 22 percent of these residents also claim to be Latino. The estimated median household income in Orange is $40,818, a little more than half the statewide median income.
A 2013 health study revealed that 45 percent of the residents are obese and almost 12 percent have been diagnosed with diabetes. Among residents, pedestrian safety is a big concern. Over a 10-year period from 2005 to 2015, the township recorded a total of 382 pedestrian crashes or roughly 38 pedestrian crashes each year.
In 2016, EZ Ride partnered with the City and School District of Orange Township and the Healthy Orange Coalition to work on pedestrian safety and promote walking as a means to wellness.
Over the next two years, the EZ Ride team conducted a dozen pedestrian safety presentations at six elementary schools, which were attended by more than 2,000 students. The schools conducted Safety Poster Contests, and the winners received bike helmets, bike lights, bells and reflective string bags as prizes. EZ Ride also conducted a pedestrian safety workshop for a group of parent leaders and provided training and resources to the District to encourage groups of students to walk together to school. The team also provided string bags and water bottles as incentives to motivate students and parent volunteers to participate and walk to school.
They worked with the District to pass a comprehensive Safe Routes to School policy to encourage walking and biking for students. In March 2017, they helped coordinate a walkability audit in and around the Park Avenue Elementary School to identify safety issues and help the City and District apply for funds to make infrastructure changes to support safer walking.
In May 2019, the City was awarded $1 million in SRTS infrastructure funding in recognition of its efforts to improve and support walking and community safety and work towards zero pedestrian injuries and fatalities.
“As the Mayor of a walkable urban community, I believe that making our sidewalks, bike lanes and streets safe for residents and students to get from home to work and school is an important municipal responsibility. Our $1 million Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Grant award will be used to calm traffic, make our streets more secure and accessible for all travelers and make pedestrian and bicycle travel more attractive. The walkability audit we worked on with EZ Ride and the School District became a ‘community spirit’ builder. The School Travel Plan (STP) report was a useful tool…. From engineering and public works to police and fire, we were better able to recognize barriers to safe passage and to assess and implement an action plan for safety and efficiency. We look forward to working with EZ Ride‘s Bike & Pedestrian Team and the Safe Routes to School Program on future efforts to ensure students’ safety while traveling to our local schools.”

FLEX-T
BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION ...for riders with disabilities
More than 95 percent of EZ Ride’s Flex-T Mobility Partner program participants are dependent on the service to access education, training or employment. Rides are expensive: the average trip costs approximately $50. Ridership continues to grow and now serves 130 riders. This year, we provided approximately 25,000 rides, a 25 percent increase from the 20,000 rides provided a year earlier.
Pictured above are six of the eight riders who access employment and training at Friendship House in Hackensack or Paramus and use EZ Ride for their daily transportation. From left - Steffanie Provitera, Maya Avital, Matthew Bianchini, Brian Rosenberg, David Weisberg, and Andrew Weatherly. 17 |
For the Flex-T program, the challenge is to cobble together enough funding from multiple sources to meet our operating costs and keep the program afloat.One of the many challenges that caregivers of the developmentally disabled face every day is finding suitable transportation to take their loved one to a program or worksite and back. Our Flex-T program helps more than 100 families by providing safe, reliable and affordable transportation for these riders to attend schools, programs and work.
Our clients travel to different locations such as Prime Time Center in Eatontown, Family Resource Associates in Red Bank, Dorbrook Activity Center in Colts Neck, Young Chefs Academy in Morganville, ARC of Monmouth in Tinton Falls, and Friendship House in Hackensack and Paramus.
Friendship House is a non-profit organization whose mission is to build the skills of individuals with varying abilities and developmental needs by providing, within a safe haven, comprehensive clinical treatment, vocational training and work opportunities, which are designed to help them achieve meaningful and productive lives. The services provided by Friendship House address the unique needs and goals of the individual. Programs include day treatment, supported employment services and a program for adults with autism. In addition, it has two new programs, ICON and CLEAN, which provide specialized training in culinary arts and custodial services, respectively.
EZ Ride is a qualified provider for the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), which provides funding for services, such as transportation, to assist adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live as independently as possible. Many of our clients receive funding through the DDD program to pay for their transportation expenses. EZ Ride uses funds from NJ Transit and other sources to further supplement the funds provided by DDD and provide these services.
“What is EZ Ride to me? It is a terrific organization that provides a very safe and dependable transportation service. And it gives me the freedom to travel between home, the program and work independently. EZ Ride’s service allows me to benefit from a full day at the program by arriving on time and leaving the program at dismissal time. Their drivers are awesome too. I’m really lucky to have Muriel and Connie as my EZ Ride team. They care about the people they are driving and always are pleasant and kind. The phone call that confirms my ride is really helpful too.
As a non-driver, being independent is really important to me. EZ Ride’s service provides me with that independence. Thank you EZ Ride! My family and I really appreciate the incredible services that you provide. You have made a tremendous difference in my life!”
Andrew Weatherly, Flex-T client since May 2016

BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION ...for commuters needing affordable transportation
Vanpools and carpools are money savers and are ideal for long commutes of 40 miles or more. However, the riders are highly price sensitive, and the most successful vanpools receive subsidies from more than one source.
Pictured above are a few of the 15 employees from Yoland Corporation who participate in the Vanpool Program, which was introduced to ensure employee retention during the company’s move from Brooklyn to Paterson. 21 |
For relocating businesses, the biggest challenge is employee retentionCommuting to work can be expensive, both in terms of time and money. Between gas, parking, tolls, insurance, maintenance and repairs, driving one’s car can get pretty expensive. Add rush hour traffic to the mix, and it can be stressful, too.
In spring 2019, Yoland Corporation Inc. relocated from Brooklyn, NY, to Paterson, NJ. The company manufactures textile articles for military and special commercial applications such as flair parachutes, body armor, bags for artillery and tank propelling charges, and seat covers for aircraft, trains and buses. One of its major clients is the U.S. Army – Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey. Being in close proximity was a necessity, which resulted in the company’s decision to move to Paterson, NJ.
Most of Yoland’s employees lived in the Bronx; commuting to Paterson was a challenge. It involved three or more bus and train transfers that could take more than an hour and cost more than $20 a day. Driving in one’s car was even more expensive with a daily toll of $12.50 or more on the Lincoln Tunnel alone.
The company was concerned about losing its skilled employees and began reviewing all commute options. Shuttles were deemed to be too expensive, and the possibility of vanpooling was discussed at a joint meeting with Passaic County’s Department of Economic Development and EZ Ride. The company decided to embrace the vanpool option and pay for all the vanpool expenses. Employees could ride for free; 15 employees signed up for the program. The employees also reduced their daily commute time by half.
EZ Ride assists businesses by conducting transportation information events to promote alternative modes such as carpooling and vanpooling to ease the cost and stress of a daily commute. More than 200 riders from Merck and PSEG participate in our vanpool program.
Michael Dymburt, Production Manager, says, “At Yoland Corporation, quality and on-time delivery of our products is our pride. We moved to New Jersey to be closer to our customers. And we needed our core base of employees from New York to be able to commute to our new facility. Public transit was not an option as it was too time consuming and too expensive.
We were pleased to learn about the vanpool option, which ultimately was the ideal program for some of our employees. And we decided to pay for all the related costs as part of our employee retention strategy. A bonus was the EZ Ride commute fair that helped our employees explore carpooling as a commute option. The company plans to host additional events over the year to remind our employees about the commute options available and encourage their participation in these programs.”
Ruben Santiago, the Vanpool Coordinator adds, “The move to Paterson would not have been possible without help from the EZ Ride staff. They took care of the entire process – talking to our employees, gathering the applications and securing subsidies from NJ Transit.”
