Lyft will provide 50% off qualifying rides, bike trips and scooter trips to polling locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Nov. 3. Dallas is about 35 miles southeast of Denton. The discount will be available with code VOTE26 from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., with savings limited to $10.
Dallas County polling locations are scheduled to be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., the county website says. The offer is part of Lyft Up Voting Access, the company’s nonpartisan program. Lyft representative Sabiha Nur said Lyft has provided free or discounted transportation for presidential, midterm and some runoff elections.
Nur said almost 4 million people have used Lyft to travel to polling places, deliver ballots or participate in voter registration and related events. This election cycle, the company is working with the League of Women Voters, the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans and the Students Learn Students Vote Coalition.
Lyft said those partnerships support older voters, people with disabilities, students, veterans and lower-income communities that may face transportation barriers.
