How driver pay works

“As a student, it’s hard to complete my class work around a schedule. I started driving more with Lyft and realized it was the perfect opportunity to make money and work on my own time! Driving with Lyft gives me freedom in my schedule to focus on school, which is my main priority.”

“I'm a disabled Marine Corps veteran, and because of my disability, I'm no longer able to work in a structured environment. The few hours a week that I drive connects me to my community and gives me extra money to help make ends meet.”

“My motto is very simple. It doesn't cost you a penny to be nice and kind, but it will cost you everything if you're not. If I'm free and somebody needs my help, I'll be the first one to jump in, in a heartbeat.”

VACCINE ACCESS

Getting the vaccine starts with getting to the vaccine

The pandemic has been tough on all of us, but it’s been particularly hard on communities that are underserved by public transit, healthcare, and other basic services. It’s our duty to help the best way we can: with rides. We’re working with partners and community members to help provide access to transportation to vaccine sites for people who need it. So everyone can say, “Sorry, COVID, our ride’s here.”
