Lyft Collaborates with Starbucks

Freshly Updated on Saturday, August 15, 2015

Do you love using rideshare for your morning commute?

…And a little java to put some pep in your step while you get going for the day?

You’re in luck!

Lyft is rolling out a collaboration with Starbucks.

This program will provide rewards to Lyft drivers, Lyft passengers, and even Starbucks employees.

Example perks include:

Earn free coffee and snacks via My Starbucks Rewards Program by racking up stars.

You can earn stars just for taking a Lyft ride!

Give the gift of coffee to your Lyft driver right through the app.

Now that’s some Lyft love!

Lyft drivers can achieve automatic Starbucks Gold status, which allows them to earn in-store perks.

They can also earn stars for giving rides.

Why Starbucks?

Starbucks is a company that cares about its impact on its communities and the environment.

Lyft views themselves as an equally community friendly company, therefore a collaboration is a perfect fit.

There’s more…

Lyft is also announcing a program that will provide free rides to and from work for Starbucks baristas.

How’s that for teamwork?

This program is still in the works, but if you’d like to be informed when it becomes available in your area, you can enter your information here:  http://blog.lyft.com/posts/starbucks.

Lyft’s Champion of Innovation Awards

Lyft is proud to recognize four outstanding state legislators with our first-ever Champion of Innovation Awards. These leaders have played critical roles in crafting thoughtful legislation focused on increasing consumer choice and public safety while still allowing ridesharing to grow and thrive.

Senator Joe Fain (Washington) – Senator Fain serves as the Senate Majority Floor Leader and was instrumental in passage of S550, the first statewide TNC legislation in Washington.

Senator Bo Watson & Representative Cameron Sexton (Tennessee) – Senator Watson, Speaker Pro Tem of the State Senate, and Representative Sexton spearheaded an effort in Tennessee that has resulted in arguably the strongest ridesharing legislation in the country.

Representative Dan Pabon (Colorado) – Representative Pabon, Speaker Pro Tem of House of Representatives, led the way as a key co-prime sponsor of the very first statewide TNC bill in the US passed into law in May 2014.

Lyft Partners with San Francisco Travel

It’s no secret that we love San Francisco. It’s where the first Lyft ride was shared and the pink ‘stache made its debut. That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with the San Francisco Travel Association to make it easy and affordable for visitors to explore the city we call home.

As the first ridesharing partner of San Francisco Travel, we want to make sure that no matter where your trip takes you in San Francisco — from the Painted Ladies to Pier 39 — a Lyft ride is available within minutes. We’ll also be collaborating with San Francisco Travel to ensure that all travelers, whether they’re here for a convention or an event like Outside Lands, know how to access safe rides with Lyft.

“As one of the most innovative destinations in the world, we want to make sure visitors have efficient and convenient transportation options such as Lyft to navigate and travel throughout the city,” said Joe D’Alessandro, president and CEO of San Francisco Travel.

For residents and travellers alike, Lyft is much more than a convenient way to get from point A to point B. Drivers are from neighborhoods across the city and often share their favorite restaurant or hidden coffee shop with passengers, allowing visitors to experience the city like a local. San Francisco businesses also benefit when tourists can easily access more transportation options. We found that last year, the average Lyft passenger in San Francisco spent $18 more per week in local establishments on social activities. That equates to an $80 million net gain in output for the San Francisco economy.

As the first city to formalize a tourism partnership with a ridesharing company, San Francisco is leading the way in embracing innovative technologies like Lyft as part of the transportation ecosystem travelers rely on. We’re looking forward to working with San Francisco Travel to connect visitors with all of San Francisco’s world-class attractions on their next trip to the City by the Bay. Hopefully, they’ll fall in love just like we have.
