Connect-A-Ride

Connect-A-Ride is a free service that helps Montgomery County seniors and adults of all ages with disabilities find the transportation they need. Certified Information and Mobility Specialists provide tailored transportation options and help with schedules, benefits, and eligibility requirements.

Connect-A-Ride representatives also provide presentations on transportation options at County senior centers, recreation centers, and libraries, as well as at senior housing facilities. We’re happy to schedule a presentation at your location.

Connect-A-Ride is administered with funding from the Montgomery County Department of Transportation.

Travel Training

Connect-A-Ride offers free half-day workshops that help Montgomery County residents aged 50+ get confident and comfortable taking public transportation. Participants learn how to read the Metro map, understand digital schedule signs, load a fare card, and where to find a station’s emergency and accessibility features. The workshops run about three hours and include classroom training, a trip on a Ride On bus, a visit to a Metro station, and a one-station round-trip train ride.

Advanced registration for the workshops is required. To register or for more information, call 301-738-3252 or email ConnectARide@AccessJCA.org.
