San Diego County CA— It’s that time of year when thousands of college students go back to school in San Diego and that means another year of late nights in the library, trips to Mission Beach, and Aztec, Triton and Torero games. With Ride Smart programs at UC San Diego and University of San Diego, Lyft has been able to provide reliable, affordable and convenient rides to San Diego students who are looking to get to and from campus seamlessly.
Students are using Lyft and other transportations options more than ever; at top universities in large cities, less than seven percent of students had vehicles on-campus, with select schools reporting zero percent in the 2016-2017 academic year, according to a survey by U.S. News. In San Diego, students are using Lyft to get to the beach, bars and across campus – this means that they are more in touch with their communities and able to access the places they need to be successful in school.
“I am excited by the response that we have seen from San Diego students. Lyft provides students an earning opportunity if they decide to bring a car to school and gives them access to a reliable transportation option if they are car-less,” said Lyft San Diego Market Manager Hao Meng. “Between navigating school, work and extracurriculars, the last thing that any student should worry about is finding a ride they can rely on.”
New Lyft users can use the code BACK2SCHOOL18 to earn $5 off per ride for up five rides to anywhere off campus or one of the top destinations below.
