Get Up to Speed on Your Latest Safety Features

Whether you drive like a weekend warrior or a lifestyler, when you’re driving with Lyft, safety always comes first. One of the ways we prioritize safety is by designing the tools in your Driver app for real life. Find exactly what you need, whenever you need it.

Get Emergency Help with Live ADT Support

Emergency situations require quick thinking and help, fast. If you ever feel unsafe when driving with Lyft, you can discreetly connect with a trained security professional at ADT. If needed, ADT will call 911 and share your trip details so you can quickly get help from emergency responders. 

Share Your Location with Friends or Family in Real Time 

Let friends and family easily track your location when you’re driving with Lyft. In your settings, just tap ‘safety tools’ to customize how and when you share your location. Choose from always sharing when you’re online or customizing the times for sharing. Heads-up: Location sharing is automatically turned off until you turn it on.

Predicting if You Need Help 

In some cases, if we notice your ride has stopped too soon or for an unusual amount of time, we’ll reach out to see if you need help. You’ll have the option to report a safety issue or accident, or get emergency help if you need it. 

Driver safety is always top of mind, and it doesn’t stop with the safety features in your app. Riders are required to follow our on-the-road rules, just like drivers. And if they don’t, we hold them accountable. Learn more about our approach to driver safety.
