Lyft named to Fortune’s 2026 America's Most Innovative Companies list

Mar 25, 2026

Fortune named Lyft to its 2026 America's Most Innovative Companies list and we're proud to join the ranks of those that are leading innovation. Fortune awards companies based on three pillars of innovation: products, processes, and company culture that fosters creative thinking. Judges are a combination of industry experts, an advisory board, and employees, which makes this award even more meaningful.

Customer Obsession for Riders & Drivers

In 2012, Lyft disrupted the transportation category with a new solution: rideshare. Since then, the company has grown into a global mobility platform offering a mix of rideshare, taxis, private hire vehicles, executive chauffeur services, car sharing, bikes, and scooters. Our mission guides our customer obsession: to serve and connect riders and drivers to the people and places they love.

We create and build products that enhance people’s lives:

  • Women+ Connect has facilitated millions of rides since launch between women riders and drivers

  • Lyft Silver for older adults nearly doubled rides since launch in May 2025 through December 2025

  • Wait & Save for those with flexible schedules has helped hundreds of millions of riders save money

These aren't just features – they're direct responses to real community needs because we put people first.

What this recognition means to us This recognition is a reflection of the work our dedicated employees put in every day and reinforces our deep dedication to drivers, riders, and the communities we're proud to serve. We're just getting started — and this recognition reminds us of what's possible when innovation is driven by customer obsession.
