Lyft Launches Jobs Access Program
Updated: Feb 2
Lyft’s Jobs Access Program will focus on three key interventions in the employment pipeline that are critical to individual success, and where transportation can play a major role:
Rides to/from job training programs
Rides to/from job interviews
Rides to/from the first three weeks of employment, until individuals receive their first paycheck and begin to pay for their own transportation
Lyft is focused on communities that stand to benefit most from short-term transportation support, ranging from veterans to individuals with disabilities. Lyft's nonprofit partners will play a vital role of connecting individuals in need with Lyft rides in 35+ markets across the U.S. and Canada.
Lyft's national partners include:
NDSS
United Way and 211
The USO
Goodwill
National Down Syndrome Society
Year Up
Generation
#cut50 (Dream Corps)
The Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth
Upwardly Global
