Monmouth County, New Jersey – EZ Ride, New Jersey’s premier public-private transportation
management association, celebrates a landmark achievement in its Ryde4Life program. Thanks to the
innovative QRyde software technology developed by HBSS Connect Corp, the Ryde4Life program has
surpassed 1,000 rides per month in Monmouth County.

Since its inception, EZ Ride's Ryde4Life has been a beacon of change, enhancing mobility for older adults
and individuals with disabilities by connecting them with ride-hailing services such as Lyft, Uber, and local
taxis. This program is supported by both public and private sectors, and collaborates with local entities to
provide affordable, reliable transportation solutions.

HBSS’ QRyde cloud-based software has been instrumental to the success of the Ryde4Life program,
evidenced by the noted substantial growth in rides including a 259.54% surge from 2022 to 2023, and
increasing from 13,989 rides in 2018 to 100,313 in 2023. This rise in monthly rides demonstrates the
growing need for dependable transportation services, particularly for vulnerable populations.

The QRyde Communities platform has revolutionized EZ Ride's operations, significantly enhancing its
service offerings and efficiency. By integrating QRyde's intuitive booking system, EZ Ride now provides
more timely, reliable rides. The robust reporting and analytics capabilities empower EZ Ride to optimize
resources and improve service delivery. This partnership has transformed EZ Ride into a more accessible
and efficient transit option, elevating the user experience, and solidifying its position in the community.

Key features of QRyde technology include:

• Role-Based Access Control: Tailors system access ensuring operational integrity.
• Data Security and Compliance: Guards sensitive information with stringent compliance to
regulations including HIPAA, backed by transparent data encryption.
• Responsive Web Application: Provides a seamless interface for users to manage their profiles and
rides with enhanced security through multi-factor authentication.
• Financial Management and Reporting: Facilitates precise financial oversight with comprehensive
reporting tools, essential for maintaining accountability.

In addition to its success in the United States, HBSS’ QRyde technology also powers services in Canada
