Frederick, Md (KM) The Ride United Network, which provides free or discounted rides to those who are less well off, has reached a milestone. Ken Oldham, the President and CEO of the United Way of Frederick County, says the network has provided over 10,000 rides to the community.
The Ride United Network began in March, 2023. “We’re absolutely delighted to reach our 10,000th ride in just a few months. Using those rides to get our ALICE families–our critical ALICE families in the communities–getting them to work, their health care appointments and to so many of the necessary activities,” he says.
ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. It’s another name the United Way uses to describe the working poor.
Ride United Network consists of a commercially available ride-share program, and several non-profit organizations which provide these transportation services.
