Need a ride to vote? How to get discounts on rides to polling places from Lyft, Uber
Rideshare services Lyft and Uber will offer a 50% discount on rides to the polls on Election Day.
The initiatives are part of the ride-share company's efforts to help break down barriers to exercising the right to vote. Lyft said in the announcement that studies have shown people without cars are far less likely to vote.
“Lyft believes transportation access should never be a barrier for any citizen seeking to vote,” Lyft Chief Policy Officer Jerry Golden said in a news release. “We’re proud to encourage riders and drivers to exercise their fundamental right to vote, regardless of income, zip code, or political affiliation."
A voting report the rideshare company released on Wednesday showed less than 25% of Arizona voters voted in person on Election Day 2022. The company pledged to grow its ride volume to the polls by 25% on Nov. 5, according to the news release.
