Our roads are filled with too many cars

But we still lack access to mobility

impact how does Lyft affect mobility? Most LA-area jobs are out of 25% reach by transit � � Percentage of population in LA MSA the average job can reach in 90 min. by transit. � Brookings Institution, 2012

We’ve given commuters two choices

Twentieth-Century Choice vs. Macro Transit Car Ownership • Fixed route • Choice of route • Fixed schedule • Choice of schedule • High capacity • Personal vehicle • Frequent at peak • Always works • Great if you’ • Works anywhere • Underfunded • $ can buy it

impact how does Lyft affect mobility? 2% 3% 5% The result: 5% most Californians 11% drive alone 73.2% American Community Survey, 2013

The lesson: � One-size transit doesn’t fit all densities

We need flexible choices � Tailored to every density Density of Demand Vehicle Size

Transit needs to be as easy as driving reliable flexible safe quick door-to-door awesome

Shared Mobility � Can cut congestion and emissions Direct Increase vehicle occupancy Reduce car ownership, increase Indirect access to / use of transit

80% of seats on the road are empty

a simple vision

Lyft Line carpooling for riders going the same way

Driver Destination carpooling for drivers on their way

Solving the last-three-miles problem

20% of SF Line matches are triples

Match rates are high at rail stations

Fewer car owners = less total driving?

Unbundling mobility

60% of passengers report driving less due to Lyft � 46% are likely to avoid buying a car due to Lyft � � Lyft 7-city survey conducted by Land Econ Group

Lyft + transit must work together to cut car ownership
