At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.

Express Drive gives vehicle access to people who want to drive for Lyft, but may not otherwise be able to get a car.

At the same time, we prioritize production quality because our customers put their trust in us for income and transportation.
