Not only are you fulfilling your civic duty by showing up to the polls, but Lyft is actually offering discounted rides to get you there! Whether you take a car, bike, or scooter, Lyft wants to help.
Customers can get as much as 50% off their ride (max $10) on Election Day by preloading the code: VOTE24 into their app on or before November 5th.
The discount is valid on November 5th, 2024 from 5am to 10pm, in all time zones, for a rideshare, bikeshare or scooter trip. When your code is added you will be notified with a red, white and blue confetti across your screen.
Did you know people without cars are statistically less likely to vote? That’s why Lyft is making transportation to polling sites more accessible, already having aided more than three million people get out there to vote over the years.
Jerry Golden, Lyft Chief Policy Officer, said:
“Lyft believes transportation access should never be a barrier for any citizen seeking to vote…Our Voting Access Program reflects our commitment to being a force for good, and we’re proud to encourage riders and drivers to exercise their fundamental right to vote, regardless of income, zip code, or political affiliation.”

Moreover, for the 2024 presidential election, the nonpartisan Lyft Up Voting Access Program has teamed up with Democracy Reinvestment-Fund to match 1:1 every dollar from partner contributions. Lyft has also worked with Levi Strauss and national non-profits to close the voting gap for students at community college and to provide even more discounted rides to underserved communities during primary elections, early voting and general elections.
This is just one of the many freebies and discounts offered here in NYC for voting.
