Lyft has provided the community with sustainable transportation aimed at reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled, increase public transportation trips, and provide equitable transportation solutions. This week Lyft announced it is furthering the program by expanding its geographical footprint to include even more neighborhoods in the area, including South Dallas.
“We take pride in providing the community with scooters that are both reliable and affordable, and we’re excited to bring this service to even more of our neighbors in Dallas,” said Miller Nuttle, Senior Manager, Bike and Pedestrian Policy for Lyft. “We believe in cities built around people, not cars, and we hope that by expanding the reach of our offering as a one-stop-shop for transportation, we’ll continue to build on our mission to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation.”
The new neighborhoods where riders can access Lyft scooters include Fair Park, Bishop Arts, Wynnewood North, Lake Cliff, Cedars, South Boulevard/Park Row and Owenwood, among others.
A full-coverage map is available here. Riders can take the scooters anywhere within the service area, and additional scooters have been added to these newly included neighborhoods to make them even more accessible.
The scooters cost $1 to unlock and 15 cents for each minute a user rides one. The Lyft’s scooters are built into the existing Lyft app, and riders are able to reserve scooters ahead of time.
Lyft also offers a Community Pass for its scooters, allowing riders in low-income areas to ride for just $5/month
Additionally, from Aug. 15-18, Lyft will be offering a $10 rideshare credit to the first 100 people who ride a scooter 10 times during the giveaway period. Those who take 10 rides will be entered to win $250 in Lyft rideshare credit, and one winner with be selected at random.
