Help After California Storms

Jan 5, 2023

In the aftermath of the recent severe weather impacting California, Lyft is committed to doing our part to help those in need. We’re activating our Lyft Up Disaster Response program to provide access to free and discounted rides to help those affected move to designated shelters and critical resources.

Rides can be accessed using the code CAFLOODRELIEF23, valid for two rides up to $15 each, from now until January 16, 2024 at 11:59pm, or while rides are available. We recommend visiting The Red Cross’ website to find the nearest shelter, and checking operational hours before visiting.

We will continue to monitor conditions and take action as needed. As always, the safety of the Lyft community is our priority, and we encourage drivers and riders in impacted areas to follow guidance from state and local officials and avoid flooded areas.

Our hearts go out to those impacted by the severe weather.

Through Lyft Up – our comprehensive effort to expand transportation access to those who need it most – we partner with leading nonprofits to help provide access to free and discounted rides to individuals and families who lack affordable, reliable transportation.
