<p>In New York City, Lyft will provide hospital workers, first responders and transit workers with a free, one-month <a href="https://www.citibikenyc.com/critical-workforce-membership-press-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Citi Bike</a> membership. Those passes can be obtained through employers, who can email HeroBikes@Lyft.com to enroll their staff. The offer applies to anyone working in these fields who recently purchased a membership or has an upcoming membership renewal, too. After this initial trial, Lyft and its partners will determine ridership needs and reevaluate.</p>
<p>&#8220;Having seen higher demand for Citi Bikes near our critical hospitals, Lyft has arrived at a generous and creative plan that will help get first responders where they need to go,&#8221; said NYC DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg.</p>
<p>At certain high-traffic Citi Bike stations &#8212; like those outside of hospitals &#8212; Lyft valets will dock and disinfect bikes. Lyft will expand its cleaning operations and continue to disinfect bikes every time they enter the depot or are repaired in the field.</p>
<p>Healthcare workers in Boston and Chicago will also have access to discounts, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/25/21194184/lyft-bike-share-coronavirus-discount-free-nyc-chicago-boston" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>The Verge</em></a> reports. In Boston, <a href="https://www.bluebikes.com/blog/covid19" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lyft&#8217;s Bluebikes</a> is offering hospital workers a free 30-day membership, and in Chicago, healthcare workers have access to free rides on the city&#8217;s Divvy bikes through April 30th.</p>
<p>Lyft tends to be the more altruistic of the major ride-share players. Previously, Lyft has offered <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2020-01-31-lyft-expands-free-voter-rides.html">free rides to voters</a> and people <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019-10-17-lyft-jobs-access-program-free-discounted-rides.html">traveling to job interviews</a>. This latest move will help workers who still have to head outside during the pandemic.</p>
