Lyft will offer a 50% discount on qualifying rides, bicycle trips and scooter trips to polling locations across the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Nov. 3. The savings will not exceed $10. Dallas is about 42 miles south of Anna.
Riders can apply the code VOTE26 between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. when traveling to a polling place. Dallas County polling locations are expected to be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the county website.
The offer comes through Lyft Up Voting Access, a nonpartisan initiative. Lyft representative Sabiha Nur said the company has provided free or reduced-price transportation for presidential, midterm and some runoff elections. Nearly 4 million people have used Lyft to travel to polling sites, deliver ballots or participate in voter registration and related events, Nur said.
During the current election cycle, Lyft is partnering with the League of Women Voters, the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans and the Students Learn Students Vote Coalition. The company said those efforts are designed to assist older adults, people with disabilities, students, veterans and lower-income communities that could face transportation obstacles.
