Lyft is associated with decreasing impaired driving incidents: Research shows that when Lyft enters a market, ride volumes increase and DUI incidents decrease. 65% of riders use Lyft to find a rideshare driver when they are planning to drink alcohol or use another substance that could impair driving ability.
State Grants
Since 2018, GHSA and Lyft have partnered with State Highway Safety Offices (SHSOs) to encourage the use of ride-hailing services as a safe alternative to driving after consuming alcohol or other drugs during the November-December holiday period.
Selected SHSOs received ride-share credits, along with cash grants to develop and implement campaigns to prevent impaired driving. Learn how states leveraged these ride credits in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022:
