Lyft is offering Nashville residents the equivalent of $455 in transportation credits to encourage them to avoid driving their car for 30 days.

The "Ditch Your Car" initiative seeks to promote transportation via Lyft rides, WeGo Public Transit, Shelby Ave. Bike Co. and Walk Bike Nashville.

The program, launching Sept. 26, will provide Lyft and WeGo Public Transit from Oct. 8 to Nov. 6, as well as $100 for Shelby Ave. Bike Co. and a city bike riding class hosted by Walk Bike Nashville. The one-month pass for WeGo is valued at $55, and a month of Lyft rides is valued at $300.

“The way people move around cities is changing faster than ever, and we are excited to challenge Nashville residents to change their everyday habits and give up their car for a month,” said Sam Nadler, general manager for Lyft Nashville. “Lyft alone is not the overall solution to overcome transportation hurdles, but by partnering with WeGo Public Transit, Shelby Ave. Bike Co. and Walk Bike Nashville, we are able to create a full menu of mobility options for Nashville residents.”

Fifty Nashville residents will be eligible for the experiment, and applicants can register at ditchwithlyft.com/.
