Ride to Care offers three services:
 | Reimbursement: Ride to Care pays a per-mile rate for mileage to and from health care visits. You can drive yourself, or someone else can drive you. In some cases, Ride to Care pays stipends for meals and lodging when your health care needs take you outside Multnomah, Clackamas or Washington counties. |
 | Public transportation: Ride to Care provides daily or monthly TriMet Hop Fastpasses to take TriMet buses, MAX, the Portland Streetcar and C-Tran. They can also offer fare for other local transit agencies within the Health Share service area. |
