How RIDE works
RIDE is a statewide program designed for low- and moderate-income drivers in California who currently drive with Uber, Lyft, or HopSkipDrive and meet requirements. Its goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help clear transportation pollution across the state.
You fill out a simple application form to establish eligibility. And then you can use your incentive at the point of sale for instant savings or redeem it later and get paid after the transaction.
