Municipalities across the country struggle to meet the demand.\u00a0\u00a0 By tapping into the vast TNC resource to fill in the gaps UZURV is helping Richmond its neighbor, Henrico County, bring Smart Transportation options to those who need it the most<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The program is available exclusively for individuals who are eligible under the American Disabilities Act. GRTC anticipates the current demand to be around 250 rides per day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here at UZURV we are all hands on deck! We\u2019ve worked with the highest rated rideshare drivers to be certified to drive under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
