“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.”
