Dear REV UP community, 

 

We’re excited to announce that REV UP is partnering with Microsoft and Lyft to provide free or discounted rides to the polls on November 5, 2024 in seven cities where wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) rides are available. This code can also be used to book standard rides, if you do not need a WAV.

  
For both WAV and standard rides, we recommend reserving your ride in advance to avoid wait times and ensure you can get to the polls. 

Here’s how it works: 
Use the code MSFTA11YVOTE for $15 off per ride, valid for two rides. This offer is available in:

*	Boston, MA
*	Chicago, IL
*	New York City, NY
*	Philadelphia, PA
*	Phoenix, AZ
*	Portland, OR
*	San Francisco, CA

Instructions for booking WAV:

1.	To book a wheelchair accessible ride, download and open the Lyft app. Open settings, then select “wheelchair access.” 
2.	When you book your ride, you will see “Wheelchair” as a ride type.
3.	Enter the code MSFTA11YVOTE when booking your ride to and from the polling place.
4.	Receive $15 off two rides on November 5.

Instructions for booking a standard ride:

1.	Download and open the Lyft app
2.	Enter the code MSFTA11YVOTE when booking your ride to and from the polling place.
3.	Receive $15 off two rides on November 5.

Important Note: If you experience accessibility issues when using Lyft, please let us know using this feedback form <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Lyft-RevUp-24> . If the form is not accessible to you, you can also email akemerling at aapd.com <mailto:akemerling at aapd.com> . Please include the subject line: “11.05 Lyft Report” and answer the questions in the attached word document. AAPD will follow up with Lyft to report on all issues.

 

Thank you!
