Lyft's Climate Action Contribution
About Lyft's Climate Efforts
Lyft was one of the first companies to join the We Are Still In movement to pledge its commitment to the Paris Climate Accord. Since then, Lyft has continued making commitments to address the threat posed by global climate change.
With transportation recently overtaking electricity as the single largest source of planet-disrupting greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution in the US and the second-largest source in Canada, Lyft led a radical shift in strategy. In June 2020, Lyft became the first transportation network company to commit to reaching 100% electric vehicles on the platform by 2030.
