Free Rides for Expecting and New Mothers in Trenton

in

Isles’ GOTrenton! rideshare service is partnering with the New Jersey Maternal and Infant Health Innovation Authority (NJMIHIA) to provide free, unlimited transportation for pregnant and postpartum women, community health workers, doulas, and others in the perinatal workforce throughout Trenton.

Through NJMIHIA Rides, eligible participants can access zero-emission transportation to medical appointments, grocery stores, classes, work, SNAP/welfare offices, and other essential destinations. The rides are available anywhere within Trenton during GOTrenton!’s regular service hours.

“This partnership removes a critical barrier to prenatal and postpartum care,” said Ben Haygood, Director of the Isles Johnson Center for Learning & Policy. “Transportation challenges shouldn’t prevent mothers from accessing the healthcare and support services they need.”

The Isles Johnson Center for Learning & Policy identified the funding opportunity and facilitated the contract and disbursement process with the New Jersey Department of Labor, New Jersey Department of Transportation, and Mercer County. The program, funded by the New Jersey Department of Transportation through Mercer County, runs from December 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Participants receive ride codes valid through the program period from their healthcare provider or social services agency.

To get started, eligible individuals can download the GOTrenton! app, enter their ride code, and book free rides as needed.
