This document discusses Lyft and how it is affecting mobility. It notes that Lyft started as a way to increase carpooling by making it more convenient and reliable through their ride-hailing platform. Lyft has now expanded to 65 cities in the US and given over 10 million rides. The document also examines how Lyft is helping with last-mile transportation, reducing traffic and emissions, and providing transportation options in underserved areas through their shared Lyft Line service. Finally, it addresses some of the policy issues around regulating transportation network companies and peer-to-peer driving services.
