How to Sign Up
Lyft Ride Smart
All currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff have received an email invitation at their official UMB email account from Lyft Business to activate the Lyft Ride Smart program. Open this email and follow the prompts to opt-in to the program to receive your discounted rides.
Your discounts will then automatically be applied to your account within the Lyft app (in the "Promos" section) to rides that meet the program's eligibility criteria
If you did not receive the invitation, please fill out the form below. Don’t yet have a Lyft account? Download the app and create an account to get started.
Custom Lyft Programs
If you are affiliated with a University department and are interested in creating your own Lyft program/account, please visit this page to learn more about custom program options and submit an inquiry to get started.
Additional Program Information
- If you request a ride that doesn’t meet the criteria, you will not see the discount shown on your ride confirmation screen and you will pay out of pocket. Lyft will not provide refunds for rides that take place outside of the geofence parameters.
- Prices may be impacted by distance, traffic, time of day, special events, and prime-time surcharges.
- If you see an expiration date of the last day of the current month listed in your Lyft app, don’t worry — the program discount is automatically re-applied on the first day of each month, so the last day of the current month will always show as an expiration date but won’t affect your ability to receive discounted rides.
