Lost your car in last week's storm?

The aftermath of Hurricane Ida left significant damage throughout the state, killing 27 people, damaging homes, vehicles, and businesses especially car-rental firms leaving residents who lost their vehicles with few options for transportation.

In a partnership between Uber, Lyft, and United Way Worldwide, and NJ 211, NJ residents who lost their vehicles in last week's flooding can get free or discounted rides in the next two weeks.

Just text NJIDARIDE to 898-211 to request a Lyft or Uber ride. Those without a smartphone can dial 2-1-1 from any phone line.
