This election season Lyft wishes to make certain everybody has a possibility to get to the surveys.
As part of its LyftUp effort, this year the trip share service is supplying citizens with totally free and affordable trips to the surveys throughout the whole main calendar and the basic election. This is a growth of Lyft’s previous 2018 program.
“Every citizen who wants to exercise their fundamental right to vote should have reliable, affordable access to the polls — regardless of income, age, ZIP code, or political affiliation,” Lyft stated in a declaration. “Yet in the last presidential election, it’s estimated that more than 15 million eligible voters didn’t go to the polls in large part because they lacked a way to get there.”
Lyft’s totally free and affordable survey trips started with the Iowa Caucus on Feb. 3 and will continue throughout all primaries and caucuses leading up to the basic election.
Nonprofit companies League of Women Voters, National Federation of the Blind, Student Veterans of America, National Urban League, The Civic Alliance and Voto Latino Foundation are dealing with Lyft to disperse trips straight to individuals in their networks whom they figure out are most in requirement of transport to the surveys.
Lyft didn’t instantly react to an ask for remark.
