In response to the multiple wildfires in California, Lyft is committed to doing our part to help those in need. We’re activating our Lyft Up Disaster Response program to provide access to free and discounted rides to help those in the affected area travel to and from shelters with critical resources.

Riders in need can use the code CAFIRERELIEF25, valid for 2 rides up to $25 each ($50 total) for 2,000 riders from now until 1/15 at 11:59 p.m. We recommend following local guidelines when going to a public disaster shelter.

"Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the wildfires in California,” said Lyft Social Impact Manager Celia Moreno. “At Lyft, safety is our top priority. We're closely monitoring the evolving conditions and staying in touch with our drivers, riders, and local officials. Lyft is committed to providing access to reliable transportation, especially in emergencies to support communities in need.” 

Lyft is also activating our Round Up and Donate program to help those impacted by the wildfires.  Riders can select the American Red Cross as the preferred nonprofit partner in the ‘Donate’ section of the Lyft app. Learn more about the American Red Cross’ efforts here. 

Lyft Up is our comprehensive effort to expand transportation access to those who need it most. Through Lyft Up, we partner with leading nonprofits to help provide access to free and discounted rides to individuals and families who lack affordable, reliable transportation.
