Lyft will offer half-price qualifying rides, bike trips and scooter trips to polling places throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Nov. 3. Dallas is about 31 miles east of Fort Worth.
The discount will be available from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. with the code VOTE26, and it will cover up to $10 of a trip to a polling location. Dallas County polling places are scheduled to be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the county website.
The offer is part of Lyft Up Voting Access, a nonpartisan company program. Lyft representative Sabiha Nur said Lyft has provided free or discounted transportation for presidential, midterm and some runoff elections. She said nearly 4 million people have used Lyft for trips to polling places, ballot deliveries, voter registration and related events.
During the current election cycle, Lyft is partnering with the League of Women Voters, National Coalition for Homeless Veterans and Students Learn Students Vote Coalition. The company said the work is designed to assist older voters, people with disabilities, students, veterans and lower-income communities facing transportation barriers.
