Safety Tips
Track with GPS
- Follow the Lyft vehicle on the GPS within the Lyft app.
Share your trip info
- Share your location and route with a friend or loved one from within the Lyft app so they can follow your ride in real time.
Access 911
For emergency assistance, riders can reach 911 directly from the Lyft app. It will prominently display your current location and vehicle information, including the license plate. This makes it easy for you to inform dispatchers if needed.
Contact a Security Professional
Emergency Help, supported by ADT, is available for all Lyft riders nationwide. With Emergency Help, if a rider ever feels uncomfortable or unsafe, they are able to immediately connect with an ADT security professional silently or by voice for real-time help 24/7.
You can choose how you want ADT to communicate with you from the app:
- Text
- Call
- Alert 911 silently on your behalf
If you choose for ADT to alert 911 on your behalf, authorities can arrive at the user’s live location, equipped with ride details like the vehicle’s make and model, license plate number, and the intended drop-off location.
Predicting When Help Is Needed
Smart Trip Check-In: If a ride looks to have unexplained delays, riders will hear from Lyft asking if they need support from their team — and if necessary, request emergency assistance.
Lyft Pass Help
My Lyft Pass didn’t apply when it was supposed to. What do I do?
Confirm in the Lyft app that your ride met the rules it needed to. You can do this by opening the ‘Payments’ tab in the app menu and finding the Lyft Pass section.

How do I know what the rules are for my Lyft Pass?
