Lyft, Uber offering discounts for rides to the polls for Election Day
(CNN) – Lyft and Uber are offering 50% off rides to polling stations on Election Day as part of its voting access program.
The rideshare apps say people without cars are less likely to vote.
According to a report released by Lyft, a one mile increase in distance to a polling site can reduce voter turnout by 20%.
The longest drives to a polling site average 5.8 miles in Texas.
Lyft users can take advantage of the discount by preloading the code VOTE24 into their app until November 5.
Uber also announced it will offer half-off rideshare costs of up to $10 on Election Day for users in most states.
