City partners with Lyft on pilot
-----------------------------------------------------------------
georgetown.org/2018/07/25/city-pa rtners-with-lyft-on-pilot
July 25, 2018
The City of Georgetown has partnered with Lyft to offer rides in Georgetown with the
transportation network company. The program is a limited -time promotion to allow the City to
learn about rideshare use in Georgetown.
Rides that originate in the Georgetown city limits are eligible for the Lyft partnership. Lyft
passengers are responsible for the first $2 of the cost of the ride. The City will then pay up to $10
above that initial passenger payment. The passenger is responsible for any additional cost of the
ride. The promotion allows for up to 10 rides per customer.
"The City understands that ridesharing has a role in providing reliable transportation to the citizens
of Georgetown," Mayor Dale Ross said. "Transportation networking companies have become one
piece of the puzzle as it relates to regional mobility solutions, and the City looks forward to
partnering with Lyft during this pilot program to study how ridesharing can provide benefits to our
region."
To use the promotion on a Lyft ride in Georgetown, download the Lyft app on an Whone or Android
smartphone and set up a Lyft account using a credit card. Then add the code GTOWNTX18 to the
promo section of the Lyft app before you request your ride. Note that you must be in "personal"
mode for the code to apply. You will only need to enter the code one time. Once you have
requested your ride, "applied credit" is displayed on the ride payment screen.
Data from the limited -time promotion will help the city to better understand ride use patterns for a
transportation network company. Ride data available to the City after the pilot will not include
names or addresses of riders or any credit card information.
