Lyft announced recently that is plans to expand its Grocery Access Program, which provides affordable rides to grocery stores for families in underserved areas.
After a successful pilot program in Washington, D.C., the effort will spread to 14 more markets: Atlantic City, NJ; Baltimore; Chicago; Columbus, OH; Detroit; Indianapolis; Los Angeles; Miami; Philadelphia; Phoenix; Portland, OR; Richmond; and Ottowa and Toronto in Canada.
The Grocery Access Program partners with local organizations and nonprofits to provide low-income families and seniors living in food deserts with deeply discounted flat-fare rides to get to and from grocery stores.
