Lifelong Montclair, in partnership with Essex County, offers new and improved transportation services for Montclair residents age 55+ and residents with
disabilities in order to meet the needs of residents who are unable to safely
or independently reach their destinations. Rides are available throughout all
of Essex County and within a 10-mile radius of the County for a multitude of
transportation needs such as medical, recreational, shopping, and beyond!
This service has expanded Montclair’s transportation services greatly by not only extending
the distance of rides, but by accepting rides for any purpose! Every rider can
seek transportation services through one central phone number by calling EZRide
at 201-939-4242 ext 4, or visit ryde4life.org.
Hours: Monday – Friday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. Saturdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
No advance reservation needed for regular rides; rides are on-demand. A cell phone is needed for communication and security.
If you are a rider who requires ADA compliant transportation services, EZRide will now be able to connect you with Essex
County Community Transportation Services, where you can schedule an
accommodating ride – 48-hour advance notice required.
