Lyft Offers 50% Discount on Rides to Polls for Election Day

The initiative aims to eliminate transportation barriers for voters, partnering with nonprofits to boost turnout.

Lyft's Voting Access Program offers a 50% discount on rideshare, bike-share, and scooter rides to polling stations on Election Day.
The discount is available from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. across all time zones using the code VOTE24.
Lyft has already facilitated rides for over 3 million voters this year and aims to increase this number by 25% for the presidential election.
Transportation challenges are significant in states like Texas, Georgia, and Mississippi, where the average distance to polling stations is over 5 miles.
Lyft is collaborating with nonprofit organizations to provide free or discounted rides to communities facing transportation barriers.
