signal boosting: rides to the polls

Signal-boosting [personal profile] rydra_wong's post:

Lyft are going to be providing half-price or free rides to the polls on Nov 6 for those in need:

Across the country, we’ll give away 50% off promo codes with our partners that encourage voter turnout. We’re thrilled to be working with Vote.org, Nonprofit Vote, TurboVote and more to help distribute codes to those who need them. We’ll also have a product integration to help passengers find their polling location.

For underserved communities, we’ll provide rides free of cost through nonpartisan, nonprofit partners, including Voto Latino, local Urban League affiliates, and the National Federation of the Blind.

(Like Rydra, I am not the biggest fan of ride-sharing apps, but even here the T may not go to your polling place, rather than several hilly blocks away.)
