Overview

• Lyft launched Women+ Connect feature that allows women and nonbinary riders to match with women and nonbinary drivers.
• Feature aims to improve safety for women riders and encourage more women to become Lyft drivers.
• Women+ Connect is a preference, not a guarantee, and riders may still be matched with male drivers if no women are available.
• Feature will rollout first in select cities in the U.S. before potentially expanding to more locations.
• Lyft developed feature after consulting groups focused on women's rights and safety.
