Lyf?r's San Francisco Scoo?rer Permi?r Response June 5, 2018 San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Powered Scooter Share Program Attn: Miriam Sorrell 1 South Van Ness Avenue, 7th Floor San Francisco, CA 94103 RE: SFMTA POWERED SCOOTER SHARE PROGRAM PERMIT APPLICATION Dear San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency: Lyft was founded with the mission of re-connecting communities through better transportation. At the heart of that mission are commitments to building transportation options that decouple the right to mobility from auto-ownership, encourage more sustainable transportation options, and ultimately create a new transportation equilibrium that places people, not cars, at the center of our cities. To deliver on our mission, Lyft is committed to developing innovative multimodal solutions that enable residents to conveniently move about their communities without owning an automobile. This commitment to alternative transport innovation led to the introduction of Lyft Line in 2014, integration of public transit trip planning into the Lyft App, and now the introduction of new transportation options that will help bridge the first-last mile gap to mass transit. With San Francisco’s rapidly growing population and economy, now more than ever is the right time to focus on sustainable transportation options that keep people moving. Lyft is excited to have the opportunity to introduce 100% electric scooters to the San Francisco community. Introduction of scooters to the Lyft network will create new ways for us to assist the City in delivering more robust first-last mile programs to mass transit networks that support the City’s Transit First Policy and help encourage car-free and car-light lifestyles. We believe that Lyft is uniquely positioned to implement a scooter network that will positively impact San Francisco’s communities as a result of our history of delivering technology solutions that encourage shared mobility, address pressing equity and environmental issues, and ultimately focus on the larger vision of creating more livable communities. Below we provide a brief summary of our commitment to delivering a unique scooter solution that encourages multimodal travel, invests in equity of access, builds positive urban spaces, and promotes environmental stewardship. Encouraging Transit Usage The Lyft App will be unique in its emphasis on helping San Francisco residents and visitors bridge the first-last mile gap to transit. In addition to providing incentive programs for scooter users connecting to transit, the Lyft App will surface real-time transit data to help scooter riders plan and execute multimodal trips using MUNI, BART, and Caltrain.

Since its launch in 2012, Lyft has grown to a team of over 3,300 employees, which include team members that focus on national and local Customer Experience & Safety, Operations, Marketing, Brand, Communications, and Transit Partnerships & Policy. Lyft operates in over 360 cities across the US, and has offices in over 20 locations including 4 in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Our Bay Area operations are led by General Manager David Kunst and have a full-time staff of 80 people in Operations, Community Outreach and Marketing. Our values Lyft is committed to the following mission and values, which set us apart as a new mobility company in how we approach partnering with government agencies and the communities they serve: Reduced Car Ownership Lyft was founded with the guiding mission and vision of reducing car ownership and single occupancy vehicle trips. That vision led to our 2014 launch of Lyft Line, which enables multiple parties traveling separately to be matched with a common driver to maximize route and fuel efficiency, as well as reduce the cost to increase transportation access. On June 7th, 2018, Lyft set a company wide goal of having more than 50% of trips on the Lyft Platform being shared rides by the end of 2020. Collaboration Lyft is committed to collaborating with City governments and local leaders in the communities where we operate to make transportation systems better for the communities we serve. One of our founders previously served on a county transit board, and we believe that public transit is the foundation of urban mobility. We see our role as helping to fill the gaps and improve the efficiency of certain transportation trips. This mission led us to launch our Friends with Transit initiative back in November 2014, and is the mindset fueling positive first-last mile, paratransit and on-demand suburban solution partnerships with public agencies from Los Angeles to Boston. Equality and Diversity Lyft recognizes the importance of equality and diversity both within its workplace and the ridesharing community, along with an environment that embraces all backgrounds and genders. We believe that diverse perspectives are critical in shaping the direction, mission, vision, and values of our company to continue supporting our diverse community of drivers and passengers. We are proud that over 50% of the driver community is made up of racial minorities and 30% is female. Climate Commitment Announced in April 2018, Lyft has taken action to immediately offset the carbon emissions for all rides globally. This is a multi-million dollar investment and makes Lyft one of the top voluntary purchasers of carbon offsets in the world. In year one, Lyft anticipates offsetting over a million metric tons of carbon, equivalent to planting tens of millions of trees or taking hundreds of thousands of cars off the road. Lyft’s investment and impact will continue to grow as the company does. This effort also ensures that Lyft is only supporting emission reductions that are new and would not have happened but for Lyft’s investment. The majority of these projects will be in close proximity to our largest markets, and all projects will be US-based. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 5 Lyft in San Francisco Since our launch in 2012, Lyft has worked to help sustain a car-ownership free and shared-rides lifestyle for San Francisco residents. Below is an overview of some of the quantitative results of Lyft’s impact on access to transit, adoption of shared rides and expanded mobility. Connecting to Transit One in three passengers (34%) in the San Francisco region uses Lyft to connect to public transportation, and nearly half (45%) have used Lyft to get around when public transit does not operate. Encouraging Shared Rides Lyft Line has provided tens of millions of low cost, shared rides in San Francisco. Approximately 40% of Lyft rides in San Francisco are shared modes, which increase vehicle occupancy per trip by matching passengers in real time, and decreases vehicle miles travelled per trip. The success in shared trip-making in San Francisco has led Lyft to set a platform wide goal of shared rides accounting for 50% of all trips on the Lyft platform by the end of 2020. Enhancing Community Mobility for all One in three passengers (34%) using Lyft in the San Francisco region indicate household income below the San Francisco Area Median Income. Additionally, one in three (37%) Lyft rides in San Francisco start or end in census tracts qualified for the Low Income Housing Tax Credit. One in twenty passengers (5%) using Lyft in the San Francisco region is living with a disability and 75% say Lyft has increased their mobility. Nearly half (46%) of passengers using Lyft in the San Francisco region identify with a minority group. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 6 History of Collaboration in SF Over the years, Lyft has engaged with local agencies to help address issues that have arisen around shared mobility as our services have grown to service millions of rides in and around the City and County of San Francisco. We have helped manage passenger pick-ups and drop-offs at major events in San Francisco including Outside Lands and Dreamforce, and in high-traffic areas including AT&T Park, and the California Pacific Medical Center. To help accommodate the City’s building boom, we have worked with City partners to redirect passengers to pick-up locations clear of major construction zones like the Van Ness BRT alignment. In 2015, in solidarity with the City’s Vision Zero goals, we voluntarily prohibited pick-ups and drop-offs on Market Street as part of the Safer Market Street initiative. In June 2016, after winning the Just Transit SF grant, we worked with Livable City and the SFMTA to introduce a dedicated pick-up spot at the 4th and King Caltrain Station. Currently, we are also using our geofencing technology on Valencia Street to help reduce conflict between rideshare users and bicyclists, in partnership with the SFMTA as they begin a comprehensive curb access management plan for the corridor. Beyond working to solve day-to-day operational issues, the Lyft team has also worked to support long range planning initiatives, including working closely with the San Francisco Planning Department as a task force member on their ConnectSF vision and supporting the San Francisco County Transportation Authority’s Emerging Mobility Services and Technologies framework. We would look to deepen our relationships with local agencies and community organizations with the introduction of scooters into our network - engaging local merchants and agencies in the consideration of mobility hubs, investing in infrastructure to improve the alternative transport travel experience around the City, and developing equitable access programs in concert with local non-profits and community groups. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 7 A. PRICING STRUCTURE Description of pricing structure including low-income and other discounted customer plans, including cash payment A1. Base Pricing Below is the proposed pricing schedule that Lyft would use at the outset of the pilot period. Our schedule consists of a base fare and a per minute fee. Lyft’s offering also includes a small reservation fee that will allow users to book and hold a scooter for rental for up to ten minutes. This novel reservation feature will provide consumers assurance that their scooter won’t disappear as they walk to their vehicle. Our basic fare package also includes an out of service area violation fee in order to encourage and enforce compliance with the program. Finally, Lyft will also implement a dynamic discounting system that promotes multi-modal trips, helps rebalance the network to increase service quality, and fosters parking compliance. PROPOSED PRICING STRUCTURE Type Proposed Rate Details Unlock Fee $1 Base Fare of $1 per trip on a Lyft Scooter. Usage Rate $0.15 per minute Per-minute rate initiating from time of unlock until scooter is parked, locked and released to the network. *Users will be able to lock the scooter and put it in standby mode in order for them to go off the scooter temporarily while still being charged the per-minute rate Out of Service Area Penalty Distance Based Up to $100 Ride within the lines! If a scooter is left outside the service area we will reserve the right to charge the Rider a Service Fee of up to $100 depending on the distance of the violation. Reservation Fee $0.15 per minute Users will be able to reserve a scooter for up to 10 minutes in order to ensure the scooter isn’t taken as they walk to their vehicle. Ride Discounts 0-100% Lyft will use a broad set of incentives (discussed throughout application) to encourage users to ride safely, link with public transit, park in preferred areas, and reposition scooters to areas in need of supply. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 8 A2. Ensuring Equitable Access If shared scooters are to truly add value to the transportation network in San Francisco, they must serve a diverse group of travelers. Lyft’s scooter pilot will launch with a strong equity program that addresses affordability concerns as well as structural barriers to scooter use, and we intend to work hand-in-hand with community partners to ensure that equitable access is core component of our operational approach. Most notably, we are proud to be finalizing a partnership with TransForm, a leader in building equitable shared mobility networks for Bay Area communities. Below we have laid out a series of discount programs that we would plan to offer during our pilot to meet expected demand and also address SFMTA’s ridership priorities. A2.1 UpLyft Community Pass Low income discount program Research has shown that when it comes to using public bike share, cost can serve as a barrier to low and moderate income communities. Low-income costs plans have been an important step in broadening bike share riderships, and greater impacts have been realized when low to moderate income cost plans are coupled with strong community partnerships and outreach. Lyft’s goal is to replicate the success of the Ford GoBike ‘Bike Share for All’ program. Lyft’s low-income discount program, the UpLyft Community Pass, will cost $5 per year and includes unlimited free 30 minute rides within Lyft’s proposed service zone. Access is available to Bay Area residents ages 18 and older who qualify for Calfresh, SFMTA (Low Income) Lifeline Passes or PG&E CARE utility discount. Qualifying residents can sign up on Lyft’s website or in-person at select locations. We are exploring how cash payments could also be accepted through our community partnerships program, and would allow individuals to purchase coupon vouchers with unique codes to unlock scooters. In order to ensure that we make the UpLyft Community Pass program available to as many San Francisco residents as possible, Lyft has begun conversations with TransForm about how to best develop a robust outreach strategy. This strategy is built on engaging and taking direction from trusted leaders who are accountable to communities that have too often been left out of planning. Our community engagement strategy will have several key objectives: • Ensure socioeconomic diversity, striving towards ridership demographics that reflect the makeup of the local communities • Increase first and last mile connectivity in transit-poor communities • Reduce congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and vehicle miles traveled within San Francisco we serve With these goals in mind, our approach will be to: • Reach out, listen to, partner with, and respond to what the community says they need • Meet the community where they are, and seek guidance from a group of representatives from traditionally • Create culturally competent marketing tools underrepresented communities A2.2 Serving Unbanked Populations New mobility options have tremendous potential to improve regional mobility, but only if they are an option for every San Francisco resident. Lyft has enabled payment solutions to ensure that transit agencies that utilize Lyft can meet Title VI requirements to provide unbanked passengers access to the Lyft network. For passengers without a credit card or checking account, Lyft will work with community partners to allow individuals to purchase coupon vouchers with cash. Additionally, rides can be paid for using prepaid debit cards. Pre-paid debit cards can be purchased at most grocery store, convenience store and pharmacy chains including CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, 7-Eleven, etc. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 9 A2.3 Serving Non-Smartphone Users We will support customers who do not have access to a smartphone. We will support signup via the web and unlocking/locking and using our scooters via SMS text messaging that all basic cell phones support. A2.4 Serving Multiple Languages. We will support Spanish and Chinese speakers via a localized website on lyft.com and online help. We will work to make the app experience equally accessible to English, Spanish, and Chinese speakers, as well as offer Lyft support in both English and Spanish. A3. Transit Zone Discounts Lyft believes scooter networks hold promise as a key first-last mile connection solution to bridge the gap between San Francisco’s core rail and bus networks and a traveler’s final destination. To support higher transit utilization, Lyft will offer discounted transit zones that will offer users up to a 100% discount on rides that start or end at designated transit stops such as MUNI, BART, and CalTrain. A4. Student Discount Program Lyft currently partners with UCSF on a Guaranteed Ride Program, which is a subsidized commute program that services ~3,000 students. Every month, UCSF students receive a stipend that allows them to commute between UCSF’s main SF campuses (Parnassus, Laurel Heights, Mission Bay, Zuckerberg General, and Mount Zion) Monday - Sunday during the hours 11pm - 3am. Upon launching our scooter program, we aim to add scooters to the Guaranteed Ride program providing thousands of local students access to discounted rides for their commuting needs. Upon successful piloting, Lyft would intend to expand this program with additional universities across the city. A5. Frequent User Stored Credit Account Frequent users will have the option to buy reduced price stored credit (i.e. pay $50 to get $60 in credit). This will allow commuters who intend to use the service frequently to have an additional discount on-top of the normal pricing scheme. Lyft would also like to explore with SFMTA whether it would be desirable to provide special discounted stored credit options to individuals who hold M and A monthly passes. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 10 B. SCOOTER AVAILABILITY AND SERVICE AREA B1. Hours of operation Lyft’s initial hours of operation will vary depending on the time of year in order to offer scooter availability from approximately 2 hours before sunrise until 2 hours after sunset. Proposed Winter Hours (October - February): 5 AM - 8 PM Proposed Summer Hours (March - September): 4 AM - 10 PM This initial operating plan is flexible, as we would work with SFMTA to modify hours based on the City’s preferences. As our hardware, technology, and operations evolve we will periodically revisit these operating hours. B2. Storage of scooters during non-operational hours Lyft Scooters will be collected from the community daily and taken to a central warehouse (Lyft’s Scooter Operations Facility), which will be staffed by the Lyft e-scooter team outlined in Section F. Every evening each scooter will be visually inspected by a trained Lyft operations team member, any necessary repairs will be made, and the scooters will be fully charged. Lyft’s Scooter Operations Facility will serve as the charging and maintenance facility as well as a customer service center for community members looking to learn more about scooter usage and safety. B3. Proposed fleet size and service area at launch Provide Map of Proposed Service Area. Would your deployment area change depending on the number of scooters you are permitted for? Applicants should bear in mind that the Pilot Program provides for a maximum of 1250 scooters total in San Francisco in the first six months and 2500 total in the second six months of the pilot. Lyft is requesting a permit for 500 scooters at launch growing to 1,000 scooters during the second 6 months of the pilot program. We are willing to work with the SFMTA to adjust these numbers and service area geographies based on your expertise and the trip demand/ utilization realized by our network. Knowing the pitfalls of bike share around equity and inclusion, Lyft started its service design process with consideration of MTC identified Communities of Concern. The Lyft team also considered population density, trip density, transit access, and potential for traffic reduction as key location drivers. Finally, we aimed to avoid hills given the limitations of current electric scooter technology. While Lyft’s proposed service area may look similar to other applicants’, we are uniquely positioned to deliver optimal service and replace the maximum number of vehicle miles traveled within the service area with scooter trips. Lyft’s use of its historical and real-time trip & traffic data has enabled us to develop distribution and rebalancing models that will place scooters where they can best help users avoid congestion and facilitate quicker access to transit. With strategic and dynamic placement of scooters where they are needed most, Lyft will be able to provide the greatest benefit to the rider in time-saved, and to the community through reduced congestion. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 11 Below are maps highlighting our proposed service area during Phase I and II of the Pilot program. 500 scooter service area 1. 500 vehicles Phase I (Months 1-6) For Phase I of the pilot Lyft proposes covering all communities east of Franklin and South of Broadway to areas North of UCSF Mission Bay. This proposed service area will help users travel through the Union Square, Tenderloin and FiDi corridors where traffic comes to a standstill during commute hours. Placing scooters in this zone will help users better access transit and alleviate existing congestion in the area. Additionally, years of bike share service and research have led to some documented best practices that we have also applied to our proposed service area. While planning around shared-use scooters is a new frontier, the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) has published research around bike share (docked and dockless) that points to the importance of creating a strong biketo-resident ratio to ensure convenience and usage. Our initial deployment area is geographically concentrated to align with these guidelines. In addition to combating congestion and a high scooter-to-resident ratio, this initial proposed area was selected due to the high number of communities of concern that the service area covers. The proposed service area provides a new mobility option to ~41% of households within the communities of concerns. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 12 1000 scooter service area 2. 1,000 vehicles Phase II (Months 6-12) During Phase II of the pilot, expanding our geographic service zone will allow us to serve a larger number of San Francisco residents. With the opportunity to have 1,000 vehicles, we can better address the transportation needs of Communities of Concern and do a better job of meeting first/last mile trip demand. Having more scooters on the road will allow for a bigger replacement of a much wider variety of vehicle trips especially on weekends. This larger proposed will stretch to the majority of areas East of Golden Gate Park and includes Hunter’s Point. Throughout the pilot, our main operational objective will be to ensure equitable distribution of scooters across the pilot neighborhoods, to mitigate commute patterns, as well as ensure scooter availability within Communities of Concern. We are eager to work with the SFMTA to ensure that we learn from usage data and we would be willing to discuss fleet modifications like those being proposed in Los Angeles, whereby additional vehicles (ie above and beyond the cap) are supplied in communities of concern to work against trip patterns that might undercut equity goals. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 13 B4. How We Chose Our Proposed Service Area How many scooters would you deploy in different portions of the service area, including disadvantaged communities? We took great care to ensure that our proposed geographies for both phases of the pilot will serve Communities of Concern as well as help serve high-density first/last-mile transit corridors. 1. Addressing the needs of Communities of Concern We started with a focus on MTC identified Communities of Concern within the San Francisco neighborhoods. The Service Area zones we developed with the intent of serving at least 60% of communities of concern with a 1,000 scooter deployment, taking into account limitations with regards to topography and our commitment to also serving high congestion corridors. We’ve included again the maps below, which present our two proposed service areas overlayed on top of San Francisco’s 2018 Communities of Concern census tract map. Under our desired year-end service plan of 1,000 scooters, we would be able to reach 36 of the 54 census tracts of concern - or 66% of identified communities - within the City of San Francisco. In addition, those 36 census tracts served by our 1,000 scooter service plan account for 74% of all SF households within Communities of Concern. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 14 2. Alleviating Congestion with a Sustainable Transport Alternative In tackling traffic reduction, Lyft aimed to create Service Area offerings that address some of the most congested corridors in the San Francisco community, where commuters are trying to access major rapid transit stations (such as MUNI, BART and Caltrain) but are stuck in traffic. Below are two graphs of congested corridors as identified by travel speeds of vehicles in Lyft’s core network during the AM and PM peak commute hours. Lyft’s proposed 500-1,000 scooter operations aim to address these congestion hotspots and provide short-trip users with a car-free commuting alternative to accessing major transit hubs and places of employment. Morning peak traffic Afternoon peak traffic On an ongoing basis, Lyft would utilize traffic flow data like the type displayed above to inform its scooter rebalancing efforts and its real-time rebalancing incentive structure in an effort to deliver the most congestion reduction per scooter. B5. Describe methods for deploying and redistributing scooters B5.1 Rebalancing Methods Lyft will use a proprietary backend fleet management tool to track the location of scooters in need of repositioning, recharging, or replacement to maximize fleet availability and quality. As imbalances in equipment arise, scooter charge is depleted, and usage violations occur, Lyft’s software will deploy Lyft’s Scooter Fleet Management team to redistribute or replace its fleet. Lyft’s Scooter Fleet Management team will be comprised of employees who are trained to inspect and test scooter functionality in the field. Scooters will be assessed in the field to determine if they need to be repaired or returned to the warehouse for inspection and charging. If a scooter is removed from service, it will be replaced immediately with a fully functional and charged scooter. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 15 B5.2 Rebalancing and Collection Fleet Lyft will use a variety of means to redistribute scooters with the intent of both maximizing service availability and minimizing the VMTs and GHGs of redistribution. Lyft will utilize a combination of cyclists with trailers, electric bike rangers, and vans to redistribute vehicles. The Lyft rebalancing fleet team will consist of the following: • Cyclists with Trailers. To minimize the GHG emissions and VMT, Lyft intends to use cyclists with trailers for distribution, pickup, and rebalancing of scooters. We want our operations team to add value to the neighborhoods in which they work by providing low-impact trips and personal interactions and service. Operations trips by bike during peak periods will also be able to more quickly to respond to issues and community questions. • Electric Bike Rangers. Electric bicycle rangers will allow the Lyft team to quickly pick up and clear blockages or damaged • Distribution Vans. Lyft will utilize cargo vans that will mainly be used for early morning scooter distribution and late evening scooters during congested time periods without creating new vehicle trips. pickups. We will prioritize efficiency using Lyft’s existing routing algorithms to minimize unnecessary VMT from van trips. Lyft will also purchase carbon offsets for all VMT as part of its existing commitment to be carbon-neutral. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 16 B6. Would your service area apply to where users are allowed to deposit scooters? Our service area will also apply to the deposit of scooters. If an individual takes a scooter outside of the service area, they will be notified via the app and asked to return it to the service area or pay an out of service area fee of up to $100 based on distance from the service area. Customers that repeatedly violate the user terms of the service area will be receive a warning and if violations continue may be suspended from the program. In addition, we will have in-app notifications to suggest optimal locations to park the scooter within the service area so that they will be placed in safe, less-congested areas and be conducive to last mile support. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 17 C. PLAN FOR SAFE RIDING AND STORAGE OF SCOOTERS C1. Proposed approach to ensure compliance with laws Lyft has developed a robust suite of technology and operational approaches to inform our riders about the compliance rules of riding a scooter in San Francisco. From the need to wear a helmet and requirement not to ride on the sidewalk, to proper parking etiquette - Lyft has built an engaging safety and compliance plan informed by our years of experience building strong community values across the millions of drivers and passengers currently using the Lyft platform. Below we walk through each of our operational and technology approaches to ensuring safety and compliance, as well as the unique investments we are prepared to make to forge new relationships and drive additional financial support behind alternative transport. C2. Describe any education, incentives, training, scooter modifications, notification systems, infrastructure, etc. you propose. C2.1 SCOOTER SAFETY AND EDUCATION Promoting and ensuring safety throughout our multimodal platform is a top priority for Lyft. As an organization we will expand upon our existing suite of safety offerings - including a 24/7 critical response line and a share your ride feature - to include scooter specific education and safety features. Below we provide an overview of our safety and education programs: C2.1.1 CORE LYFT SAFETY FEATURES LYFT HELP AND CRITICAL RESPONSE LINE (24/7) Our Trust & Safety team is available around the clock to support Lyft users. A Help Center agent is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and responds to any accidents, safety incidents, and citations that may occur through the scooter program. The help center can be accessed through the Lyft App at any time through our report an issue feature. SHARE YOUR TRIP Our app allows riders to share their current location and ETAs with friends and families. Riders simply choose a recipient from their contacts, and Lyft will send a text message with a link providing information regarding the rider’s location and arrival time. In addition, friends and family will receive a confirmation text when the rider arrives at their final destination. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 18 ONLINE HELP CENTER OF FAQS Lyft’s Support team manages an online Help Center (https://help.lyft.com/hc/en-us) with how-tos and responses to frequently asked questions, as well as a robust contact form so the Lyft Customer Experience team can process and respond to individual issues that may arise. Depending on the support need, both phone and email support are available in the Help Center. C2.2 EXPANDED SCOOTER SAFETY OFFERINGS In addition to the core Lyft safety programs discussed above that serve the entire Lyft mobility network, Lyft has added the following additional features to ensure the safety of our scooter passengers: IN-APP SCOOTER SAFETY AND ETIQUETTE TRAINING. Learning how to use a scooter is critical to the safety of both the scooter rider as well as the greater community they share our streets and sidewalks with. Lyft has developed a comprehensive onboarding flow that introduces passengers to scooter operations, required personal safety measures (helmets), as well required etiquette for sharing the roadway both when operating and parking the vehicle. FEEDBACK ON EVERY RIDE Scooter users will be able to receive support and provide feedback on equipment experience at any point during the ride. This will enable the Lyft team to get an accurate real-time read on rider experiences as well as the condition of scooters in the field. Scooters flagged by users with mechanical, battery, or safety issues will be collected and replaced by our operations team. ON-BOARD SAFETY FEATURES At the outset of the program, Lyft has elected to use a combination of Xiaomi M365 and Ninebot Segway ES2/ES4 scooters in our fleet. These scooters were selected due to their quality safety features including, reflective markings, lights on the front, back, and sides as well as a horn. We will be testing these scooter models at the outset of the program to evaluate their long term reliability, durability, and desirability based on user feedback. Over time, we aim to move toward a uniform fleet based on performance and supplier responsibility considerations outlined in Section E3 below. FREE HELMETS To promote safety and encourage the required use of helmets, Lyft will make free helmets available to active riders on our mobile app, as well as by request at our operations facility. We will also include information about helmet use in the new rider safety prompts required during onboarding. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 19 DISPLAYING BIKE LANES IN-APP To help users identify the safest travel corridors for riding scooters, Lyft will prominently display all bike lanes within the Lyft App. This feature will encourage passengers to travel down safer corridors, which should lead to less sidewalk travel violations. LOOK FOR CYCLIST & SCOOTER STICKERS Lyft will provide “look for cyclist & scooter” stickers for use on passenger vehicle doors within the core Lyft network. The aim of this introduction is to encourage better visibility of all users on the road and reduce conflicts such as dooring. Bike Lanes Highlighted in App. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION Look for Bikes/Scooters Concept Sticker 20 ESTABLISHING MERCHANT “MOBILITY HUBS” ALONG COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS The built environment is an important way to encourage good rider behavior, particularly as it relates to scooter parking compliance and etiquette. As is referenced in greater detail in Section G, Lyft will be working in partnership with San Francisco Merchants to build strong partnerships with local merchants during the pilot period. More specifically, we will look to partner with merchants to create preferred parking zones in the furniture zone along commercial corridors. As is evidenced through the successful parklet and bike corral programs, more foot traffic and better place-making along commercial corridors is an amenity for local merchants. Furthermore, adding shared mobility parking at intersections can work hand-in-hand with Vision Zero goals to daylight intersections and improve pedestrian safety in crosswalks. We plan to work hand-in-hand with local merchants and community stakeholders, and in partnership with the SFMTA, to highlight potential locations for new “mobility hubs” that provide dedicated space for scooter parking, and create a draw for local foot traffic. Planters and benches could eventually become enhancements for mobility parking hubs. If sited along protected bike lanes, mobility hubs can simultaneously enhance the transportation experience in commercial districts, and also encourage visits to local businesses. Lyft would be eager to speak in greater detail with the SFMTA about how we could support the development of designated scooter parking that also enhances the local needs of merchants. Above is a concept image of what mobility hubs could look like along commercial corridors. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 21 C3. Describe how you would monitor compliance, including any technology innovations that allow monitoring, and how you would address users who are noncompliant. Lyft’s Scooter system will implement a variety of technology solutions to encourage compliance as well as track non-compliant events. These technology solutions will enable us to quickly identify issues that arise around non-compliant and nuisance parking events, service area violations, and fallen scooters: Park and Pic We will periodically ask users to submit a photo of where they locked their scooter. Tilt sensors Sensors within the scooter will be tracked to determine if a scooter has fallen and could be blocking a sidewalk or pathway. We will message users when we detect that the scooter has tipped <1 min after they locked it and ask that they assist with ensuring the vehicle is properly parked. Points system Aside from our dynamic pricing to promote good use, our product will feature a user points system, where users will be able to gain points by providing photos of where they left the scooter (and if it’s well positioned), drive on streets with bike lanes, rebalance the network and frequently use the service from Transit hubs. Virtual parking The Lyft app will highlight geofenced preferred parking areas around the City to encourage parking in accordance with parking regulations. Lyft will work with Merchants and the City to identify such spots. Strike policy against non-compliant users Based on the feedback we will get about valid parking (either by our operation team, the City, or provided by other users) we will identify users whose scooters frequently flagged as non-compliant and reserve the right to suspend their use of their platform. C4. Describe how you would phase in additional measures if your initial approach does not achieve desired levels of compliance. We believe the compliance program outlined above will significantly reduce violation and non-compliance events from scooter passengers - inclusive of preventing repeat offenders from accessing our scooters. If our approach does not achieve desired levels of compliance, Lyft will work closely with the City to jointly develop operations, software, and hardware solutions to encourage safe, compliant riding and parking of scooters. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 22 C5. Tethering/Locking Pilot. The SFMTA is potentially interested in a tethering/locking pilot. Describe opportunities to consider a tether or locking mechanism for the scooters to be secured to fixed objects and how much notice would be needed in order to deploy such a program if determined necessary by the SFMTA. We see the possible benefits of adding a tethering or locking mechanism to our shared scooters as a means to help manage parking behavior. We have already begun exploring this solution and expect that we would need approximately 3 months notice to pilot the technology effectively with the SFMTA. Learnings from the pilot program could be integrated into Lyft’s product development cycle, enabling deployment of a scooter with built-in locking capability. In addition to exploring a tethering/locking solution, we are also interested in supporting the SFMTA’s ability to scale implementation of bike parking, both in terms of racks and on-street bike corrals, as a means to create clear, designated space for scooter parking. As noted in Section C.2.3, we see the value of creating a network of on-street mobility hubs that can address the dual aims of providing parking and also adding value for merchants along commercial corridors. In residential settings, mobility hubs can also serve as an equitable parking solution for a larger number of residents than a single car parking spot can. If the goal of a tethering/locking pilot it to discourage bad parking behavior, we see the built environment as an equally important long term investment. We would be eager to speak in greater detail with SFMTA about the possibility for partnership. C6. How will you ensure customers have valid driver’s licenses? When a user first tries to unlock a scooter via the app, the app will prompt them to confirm they have a valid Driver license and will require a picture of the DL for verification purposes. Lyft has an existing solution to verify users Driver Licenses within our Driver app and we will utilize similar capabilities for our scooter service. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 23 D. SCOOTER RECHARGING PLAN D1. Describe how scooters will be recharged Lyft scooters will be charged at Lyft’s central Scooter Operations Facility. Overnight Charging During the pilot, all scooters will be collected and fully recharged each night at the Lyft Scooter Operations Facility. Our Lyft operations team members will inspect and run diagnostics on any scooters that were reported by users as having battery issues, as well as implement protocols for identifying and replacing batteries that have reached suboptimal points on their efficiency curves by monitoring voltage, charge cycles, and distance traveled per charge. Daytime Charging We will receive real-time charge level information through our operations tool that will flag any scooter charge level that falls below an acceptable level and/or has been reported as having low battery by a user. These scooters will be picked up, inspected, and if necessary replaced by our operations team with a fully charged scooter. The low-battery scooter will be returned to the Operations facility for recharging. D2. How will you know when a scooter needs to be recharged? Lyft receives a real-time feed of charge level via our operations tool. Our initial heuristic for determining if a scooter should be taken out of service and replaced with a fully charged scooter will be scooters whose charge level is insufficient to make it from one end of our service area to the other. As more data is collected on real-world battery performance and trip lengths, we will adjust our charge replacement levels to minimize the required number of replacements and thus VMT for replacements and recharging. D3. Will independent contractors be used to charge scooters? If so, describe the incentive structure for charging scooters and any information provided to contractors concerning safe charging practices. Lyft will not be using independent contractors for charging, repositioning, or repair of scooters during this pilot. We will employ a Lyft Scooter Operations team that will be responsible for distribution, repositioning, recharging, and repair of all Lyft scooters. D4. How will the permittee minimize potential negative impacts associated with practices related to collecting, redistributing, and recharging scooters? Lyft will seek to minimize VMT and carbon emissions from distributing, collecting, repositioning, and recharging scooters through the following means: • Optimizing initial placement. Lyft is uniquely positioned to optimize scooter placement to replace trips taken by cars today • Positioning and charge level forecasting. Lyft will use its advanced forecasting systems and historical trips data to predict using real-time and historical trip and traffic data. where our vehicles will be positioned at different points during the day and their expected charge levels. This will enable us to more efficiently dispatch our Operations team to batch vehicle pickups and replacements to maximize service levels while minimizing VMT. • Lyft routing algorithms for vehicles. Lyft has years of experience in matching riders together to reduce VMT per trip delivered. We will use our routing engine to ensure that we match and sequence pickups to the right redistribution vehicles with the LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 24 objective of minimizing VMT while maximizing our network rideability score. • Human and electric-powered vehicles. Lyft will use cyclists with trailers and electric bike rangers to distribute, collect, • User-facing redistribution price incentives. Lyft will use its forecasting systems to identify scooters that can be more efficiently reposition, and replace in highly congested areas to reduce idle vehicle time in traffic. repositioned by users rather than by redistribution vehicles. To rebalance supply efficiently, we will provide discounted trips to users if they end a ride in areas in need of additional scooter supply, or end their ride at designated collection points at the end of the operating day. D5. Will the permittee document new vehicle miles generated by collecting, redistributing and charging activities? Lyft will track the VMT of all vans and report monthly to the SFMTA. In addition, Lyft will track and report the percent of scooters distributed and repositioned by vans versus bikes, electric vehicles, and users. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 25 E. Maintenance, Cleaning and Zero Waste Plan E1. How will you know when a scooter needs maintenance? Lyft will utilize multiple redundancies to identify any scooter needing maintenance: • Daily visual inspection by Lyft Scooter Team. Lyft’s Scooter Operations Associates will visually inspect each scooter during • Monthly multi-point inspection and diagnostic test. Every month each scooter will undergo a preventative maintenance • User ability to report damaged or broken scooters. The Lyft app provides users the ability to report mechanical or operational • Onboard diagnostics. Lyft’s scooters have a variety of sensors to monitor scooter performance (such as battery health) and collection at the end of each day for both cleanliness and operability. inspection and sensor diagnostic test by a trained mechanic. issues with their scooter at any point during their ride. flag scooters operating below minimum performance thresholds. E2. Maintenance Approach Describe approach to maintenance, cleaning, and repair of scooters, including scooter and battery lifespan Lyft will ensure it always maintains a fully operable and reliable fleet by adhering to rigorous maintenance standards and industryleading hardware monitoring approaches. Maintenance and Repair Lyft will employ trained mechanics to service our scooter fleet. These mechanics will have direct lines of communication to the Lyft hardware team and suppliers to receive maintenance guidelines, and provide field reports on common hardware issues. All vehicle maintenance events will be tracked in Lyft’s operations tool on an individual scooter and part basis, allowing for easy identification of trends and development of real-world serviceable life metrics. Cleaning Lyft scooters will be visually inspected daily and will be required to adhere to a minimum cleanliness standard prior to being redeployed. The Lyft Operations team will clean and refurbish scooters that fall below our cleanliness threshold. Scooter and Battery Lifespan Lyft’s operations tool will individually track miles operated by each scooter, allowing preventative maintenance for typical wear components such as brakes and tires. Preventive maintenance estimates will continuously improve based on history created during the pilot. Sensor data indicating a potential tip or fall will be tracked to monitor usage that may shorten the lifespan of scooter. Charge state and historical record of charge cycles will be tracked to estimate battery lifespan remaining compared to an independently generated battery lifetime model. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 26 E3. Zero Waste and Producer Responsibility Policies Describe how you will comply with the City’s zero waste and producer responsibility policies, including taking responsibility for the scooters throughout their life cycles by properly managing hazardous components including batteries, reducing the need for new scooters through repair, redistributing for reuse, and recycling or otherwise properly disposing of all component parts. Enhancing the environmental sustainability of our transportation network is core component of Lyft’s transportation vision. To meet both the City’s and Lyft’s commitment to climate action, zero waste and producer responsibility goals, the Lyft Scooter team will take the following actions. Offset the Carbon Impact of every Scooter Ride In 2017, Lyft was one of the first companies to join the We Are Still In movement and pledged its commitment to the Paris Climate Accord. Shortly thereafter, Lyft outlined its company Climate Impact Goals, making a commitment to address the threat posed by global climate change. In April 2018, Lyft announced that all rides will be carbon-neutral going forward, making the company one of the top 10 largest voluntary purchasers of carbon offsets globally. Our proposed scooter operation will be 100% electric-powered, and we will charge the scooters using CleanPowerSF’s 100% renewable SuperGreen product, so that all scooter rides are carbon-free. Draft Producer Responsibility and Zero Waste Approach Addressing the greenhouse gas emissions of the transportation trips we facilitate is but one aspect of environmental responsibility. Equally important are the efforts we can make to address waste reduction, reuse, and producer responsibility. Lyft supports the City’s zero waste goal and will work with the City to ensure that our scooters and their components – including hazardous materials such as batteries – are not discarded in landfills or incinerated; but rather reused, repaired, refurbished, and recycled. We will achieve this by actively managing our scooters throughout their product lifecycle. Supplier Engagement and Supplier Responsibility Selection Criteria During the design phase, we will work with our suppliers to design scooters following the principles of “cradle to cradle” and the “circular economy”, rather than for “once-through” use. For example, scooters should be designed so that worn-out parts are easy to remove and replace, rather than having to replace the entire scooter when a single part is worn out. Scooters should also be designed for producer responsibility, so that when they do reach the end of their life they can be taken back by the producer, easily dismantled, and their waste streams separated for appropriate re-use or recycling of parts and materials (including safe recycling or disposal of hazardous materials). We do note that today, no scooter supplier currently provides a perfect product designed to precisely meet all of these principals. Moving forward, we will make supplier responsibility a selection criterion in our vendor selection process, and will work with our suppliers to incorporate these principles into both scooter design and the development of responsible take-back programs. Operations and Maintenance Approach During the use phase, we will reduce the need for new scooters and ensure that end-of-life is deferred for as long as practicable through repair and replacement of worn-out parts. When parts require replacement, we will ensure that old parts are either refurbished and re-used in secondary applications, or disposed of in a responsible manner. For example, secondary uses for electric vehicle batteries are becoming better established, and we would seek to reuse our scooter batteries in a similar fashion. For those batteries that could not be reused, we would contract with one of the City’s certified hazardous waste haulers to recycle or dispose of used batteries when they have reached the end of their life, and replace them with new or refurbished batteries so that the scooter can remain in use. Take-back programs During the end-of-life phase, as mentioned above, we will engage with our supply chain to develop responsible take-back programs, following “circular economy” principles. In the meantime as those programs are being developed, we will establish our own safe storage and/or dismantling programs, to ensure that as many components of the scooter as possible are reused in other applications or their materials recycled, and that hazardous waste (such as batteries) are reused, recycled, or disposed of in a responsible manner. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 27 Finally, in March 2018 Lyft hired it first Director of Sustainability, Sam Arons, who has over 10 years of experience in corporate sustainability program development and execution. Sam is a critical member of our Scooter Program Advisory team (Bio in Section H below) and will lead our ongoing efforts to reduce the entire Lyft network’s climate impact as well as implement our Scooter Producer Responsibility and Zero Waste programs. E4. What fleet size is needed to maintain a given number of active scooters? At the outset of the program, Lyft plans to maintain a total fleet size that is 50% larger than the active fleet in the field. Total fleet size is based on our expectations around the fleet percentage that will be out of service for charging and repair at any given moment, as well as a vehicle buffer to ensure that we are able to quickly meet any unforeseen circumstances and meet the peak needs of high demand days. For each service level outlined in Section B.3 above, Lyft proposes to start with the following total fleet size: 500 Active Vehicles: Total Fleet size of 750 scooters 1000 Active Vehicles: Total Fleet size of 1,500 scooters Total fleet sizes may be adjusted over time as we learn more about in-field utilization and out of service ratios for charging and repairs given local usage. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 28 F. Hiring and Labor Plan F1. Staff Planning Describe the staffing plan, including hired staff and contractors, for operation and maintenance of your scooter share program The Lyft Scooter Implementation and Management team as well as our Local Operations team staffing plan are outlined below. Lyft will utilize a full-time team to manage and conduct operations. This will enable Lyft to maintain the highest standards of fleet quality, reliability, and safety. F1.1 LOCAL SCOOTER OPERATIONS TEAM Lyft’s San Francisco scooter operations will be led by: VIPUL PATEL Director of Operations Vipul joined Lyft in April 2016. Until recently, Vipul served as General Manager of Lyft New York City, leading all aspects of the company’s local operations including driver and passenger growth, operations strategy, recruiting and marketing. Vipul joined Lyft from InVision, where he served as Chief Operating Officer overseeing the company’s operations through massive scaling and multiple rounds of fundraising. Prior to InVision, Vipul was the Director of Strategy and Analysis at Foursquare responsible for user acquisition, growth strategy, analytics, product development, and partnerships. He received his JD from Harvard Law School and holds his BA in Economics from the University of Chicago. DAVID KUNST Northern California General Manager Dave oversees driver and passenger acquisition, market growth, and strategic direction. Dave graduated from Harvard with a bachelors in Economics and has 10 years of experience in technology and operations.

Lyft will employ a trained team of Operations Associates to distribute, reposition, pickup, and charge scooters. These Associates will respond to any issues reported by users or the City and ensure timely action is taken. The substantial majority of our San Francisco scooter operations team will be new hires from the San Francisco area. Training for these new hires is discussed further below. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 29 F2. Hiring Plan Describe how your hiring plan will comply with local laws and best practices regarding equal opportunity, local hiring, and fair wages. Describe how you will approach transparency with any contractors related to hourly rate and net of job related expenses A key differentiator with Lyft’s scooter plan is that we intend to hire w-2 employees to staff and grow our San Francisco scooter business. Equal opportunity and fair wages for employees are central tenants to Lyft’s culture, which is why we’ve publicly committed to annual pay equity audits and annual diversity audits amongst our employees, and actively seek a diverse workforce through diverse recruiting channels and outreach to and support of diverse communities. We are also proud of our strong anti-discrimination and antiharassment policies, and our employee resource groups (ERGs), all of which advance equal opportunity and fair wages. Lyft will comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws with respect to its hiring and employment practices. F3. Job Training Will you provide skills training for potential staff and contractors? Yes. Our goal is to create great jobs with a clear career path in this exciting new part of Lyft’s business. Given the unique nature of the job for mechanics and rebalancers, we are in the process of developing tailored onboarding and training materials for Lyft Scooter employees. Safety will be central to skills training, as well as developing skills for job advancement at Lyft. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 30 G. Community Outreach Plan What community outreach have you done or would you plan to do with stakeholder groups, merchants, and residents in the neighborhoods you are considering serving? If applicable, describe any strategies to partner with community benefit organizations, minimize disruption in neighborhood commercial districts, provide community benefits, implement a culturally relevant and multilingual communications plan, an equitable implementation plan, or promote the use of scooter sharing systems citywide among low income communities. G1. Lyft’s Scooter Pilot Program Community Outreach Plan G1.1 Bike and Pedestrian Outreach Upon deciding that we would apply for a scooter permit, Lyft proactively reached out to leaders representing bike and pedestrian constituencies, with a particular focus on how Lyft can foster safe scooter riding and bring value to the public realm with this new transportation option. Our initial outreach and conversations included a productive meeting with the San Francisco Department of Aging and Adult Services during which we discussed a number of important stakeholders from the senior and disability community. We are in the process of proactively reaching out to other stakeholders, including the the Mayor’s Office on Disability. Given that pedestrian safety is paramount to the success of scooter share, we have also begun a conversation with Walk San Francisco regarding how we might work together to educate scooter riders and proactively address community safety concerns. In addition to Walk San Francisco, we would also use the introduction of the scooter share program as an important moment to redouble Lyft’s efforts to support bike lane safety and expansion, and we would plan to look to the San Francisco Bike Coalition for guidance on this topic. G1.2 TransForm Partnership Lyft has been working with TransForm since 2015 on bringing more equitable transportation options to the Bay Area. Over the years, we have collaborated on projects such as the California Air Resource Board’s Car Sharing and Mobility Options Pilot Project grant, TransForm’s shared mobility community outreach for residents in East and West Oakland, Oakland Mobility 101, and exploring how Lyft Line ride credits could be used to offset minimum parking requirements for housing developers via TransForm’s GreenTRIP certification program. Given Lyft and TransForm’s shared goal to make communities healthier and more affordable through improved transportation options, we are proud to be finalizing an agreement to bring TransForm on as a formal partner in developing Lyft’s robust and meaningful community engagement plan for our nascent scooter network. Our goal is to leverage TransForm’s expertise in understanding local community needs and concerns around shared mobility programs, and bring best practices from their Bike Share For All leadership to Lyft’s own equity approach, the Uplyft Community Pass program. TransForm will help us shape and implement a culturally sensitive community outreach approach, with ongoing feedback on marketing and operations, to create a program that authentically speaks to the entire San Francisco community. As we continue to finalize details of our outreach plan, it will focus on meeting directly with community leaders and residents to understand barriers to access, implementing strategies to overcome those obstacles, meeting local residents where they are, building capacity with local community partners, and developing strategies that give knowledge and confidence to a wide audience of riders about how to use our new scootershare network and its various programs. Beyond this work with TransForm to define our approach in ensuring equitable access to our growing multimodal network and new scooter mode, Lyft will continue to engage with a deep list of existing City partners to explore how our approach to scooter operations could positively impact their communities and help meet their goals. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 31 G1.3 Merchant Partnerships Developing a positive relationship with the local merchant community will be critical to the long term success and acceptance of scooter share programs. As Lyft strives to strengthen the relationships with local merchant associations, we look to create substantive partnerships including, but not be limited to the following: • Lyft will work to partner with local merchant organizations to organize merchant walks to increase merchant member outreach and to help spread the word about San Francisco’s many unique neighborhoods, small businesses, and corridors. Merchant walks can also assist with helping to identify dedicated bike and parking hubs for scooters. • Lyft will coordinate with merchant organizations to host lunch-and-learn sessions at Lyft HQ with merchant association leaders. Topics of lunch-and-learn events may include, but are not limited to: scooters, ridesharing, transportation policy, and enterprise/business development. The goal of the above programs will be to create ongoing dialogue and brainstorming around how to ensure that new mobility is creating positive urban places and experiences for the residents and local businesses in our community. G1.4 Community Benefit Partnerships We believe that community-based organizations should play an important role in ensuring that scootershare is a success for San Francisco neighborhoods and commercial districts. Following their well-articulated public feedback on the SFMTA process, we have joined with the Lower Polk Community Benefit District in a collaborative effort to enter into a formal partnership during the pilot program, and plan to engage additional community benefit organizations to ensure that our operations are informed by local expertise. More specifically, we will look to Lower Polk and others to develop our plans for community “mobility hubs,” as well as to proactively address community concerns around bike parking and compliance that may arise. G2. Lyft’s Scooter Driven investment in Safe Streets Lyft takes seriously the importance of the efforts that the City of San Francisco is making to redesign streets for biking and walking and we want to support them. Streets with protected bike lanes attract a more diverse ridership, and make daily bicycling a safe and appealing transportation option. Increasingly, scooter riders will benefit from livable streets designs. Lyft will donate $1 per vehicle per day to the City of San Francisco’s efforts to build physically protected bike lanes. G3. Lyft’s General Community Investment Lyft was founded with the mission of “reconnecting communities through better transportation”. A commitment to helping build stronger community ties and understanding is a core tenet of our organization, and a value we work to integrate into our core service offering as well as our ancillary programs. In addition to the specific Scooter Program outreach efforts discussed above, below we provide an overview of other Lyft programs that Lyft will continue to invest in to engage our employees, community of riders (rideshare or scootershare) and drivers. Round up and Donate Lyft’s “Round Up & Donate” program allows Lyft passengers to automatically top-off their fare to the nearest dollar and donate the change to a worthy cause. The program is live in San Francisco and across the country, and we have partnered with the USO, World Wildlife Fund, St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Human Rights Campaign, Black Girls Code, the ACLU Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, and Girls Who Code. The more people ride, the more we collectively raise to support community-building organizations across the US. The Round Up and Donate feature will be extended to scooter trips as well, leading to additional investment in important civic organizations. LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 32 Relief Rides During the North Bay Fires, Lyft worked to provide transportation options to those who needed them most. We provided free rides to and from hospitals, temporary shelters, and nursing homes in the North Bay and dropped off truckloads of supplies to evacuees and first responders. We also distributed facemasks to our driver and passenger communities throughout the Bay Area. During the heatwave in September ‘17, where temperatures reached an all-time high of 106 degrees, Lyft offered discounted rides to 15 cooling centers across the Bay Area. Lyft recently committed to expand our relief ride program, which provides transportation to those in acute need, by pledging $1.5 million to the program over the next year. Community Grants and Nonprofit Partnerships Lyft launched a community grants program in January where, each month, we donate $1,000 in ride credits to a local San Francisco non-profit organization serving the area. We also work with numerous non-profits and community organizations to support their fundraising efforts, offering 20% off rides to and from fundraisers and $100 Lyft gift cards as an auction item to raise money. We have provided these benefits to organizations including the SF-Marin Food Bank, Walk 2 End Alzheimers, Better Together Refugee Dinners, Girls on the Run, Princess Project, Back on My Feet, Teen Cancer America, Greenagers Youth Leaders, Community Housing Partnership, Alternative Family Services, the Women’s Building, Art4Aids, Miraloma Elementary School, and many more. Community Event Sponsorships Lyft sponsors key community events and organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area providing funding to the events that bring our City together. We have sponsored the Black Joy Parade in Oakland, Ramadan dinners at the Oakland Islamic Center and the Fiji Jamaat Ul Islam of America Mosque, Filipino Film Festival, the APA Heritage Month Celebrations, National Association of Adventurous Black Women, the SF Symphony, Smuin ballet company, the SF Marathon, Rebuilding Together - Rebuild Our Block, Meals on Wheels, and more. We also use our platform for charitable giving, partnering with the local Toys for Tots branch to give $1 for every ride during SantaCon to Toys for Tots.

H1.1.2 Lyft’s Shared Mobility Experience In 2012, Lyft introduced its mobile-based platform for on-demand ridesharing – a friendly, safe, and affordable transportation option that fills empty seats in passenger vehicles already on the road by matching drivers and riders via a smartphone application. Since then, Lyft has grown to a staff of over 3,300 employees, including its national and local Customer Experience and Trust teams, Operations team, Marketing team, Brand team, Communications team, and Transit Partnerships and Policy teams. Today, Lyft operates in over 360 cities around the US, and has offices in over 30 locations including 4 in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Our Bay Area operations are led by General Manager David Kunst and have a full-time staff of 80 people in Operations, Community Outreach and Marketing. Today, Lyft links passengers with drivers to provide over 1 million rides per day. Lyft’s focus on providing an affordable, efficient, and environmentally-conscious alternative to car ownership has led to the development and launch of numerous shared and multi-modal mobility products: LYFT LINE In 2014. Lyft launched Lyft Line to help multiple independent travelers heading in the same direction share a ride, allowing more trips to be delivered per vehicle mile travelled. Today, 40% of Lyft trips in San Francisco are shared and it is Lyft’s goal to increase this figure to over 50% by the end of 2020. The effectiveness of Lyft’s rideshare platform in reducing reliance on personal vehicles is clear -- 56% of users indicated they use their personal vehicle less because of Lyft, and 34% of users say they would avoid owning a car entirely thanks to Lyft. TRANSIT INTEGRATION 34% of users in San Francisco use Lyft to connect to public transit today. To further encourage the multimodal use case, Lyft has integrated transit options into its app for seamless trips linked with local transit options. Lyft continues to heavily invest in and iterate on these features and will draw on this experience to deliver the best possible scooter product for users and cities. H1.1.3 Agency Partnership Experience Over the last three years, Lyft has built partnerships with over 30 US transit agencies and cities to enhance community mobility and improve access to regional public transportation networks. Below is a brief overview of a few of the partnerships Lyft has launched in the greater Bay Area to provide first-last mile service to transit, improve jobs access and enhance community mobility. We look to build upon what we have learned from these partnerships to inform our first-last mile and jobs-access scooter programs with the SFMTA and local community partners: LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 36 FIRST-LAST MILE SERVICE: TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY OF MARIN In June 2017, the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit opened a new 43-mile, ten station light rail line called SMART which will connect communities from San Rafael to Santa Rosa. In an effort to help residents connect to this new rail service, The Transportation Authority of Marin entered into a partnership with Lyft to provide subsidized First-Last mile rides to cost effectively bridge the last mile gap between this new rail corridor and major residential and employment centers throughout the region. This partnerships success has proved to be a cost-effective first-last mile service, leading to its extension and consideration as a long term solution to connecting the greater community to the region’s major rail corridor. Marin Independent Journal: http://www.marinij.com/article/NO/20170219/NEWS/170219796 JOBS-ACCESS REVERSE COMMUTE PROGRAM: SOLANO TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY Lyft worked with Solano Transportation Authority to develop a jobs-access mobility program aimed at filling the gap between Amtrak’s commuter rail and food manufacturing, county office, and medical facility job parks located over 2.5 miles from the local train station. Solano Transportation Authority elected to run on-demand service that encourages ride-sharing to/from the station and job parks as a more cost-effective and convenient alternative to a shuttle service that would have operated on longer headways with significant service breaks.

Solano Transportation Authority partnership with Lyft continues Lyft Blog: Solano Launches Jobs Access Connection Services with Lyft SUBURBAN FLEX SERVICE: LIVERMORE AMADOR VALLEY TRANSIT AUTHORITY Lyft has been partnering with Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) since January 2016 on a first-of-its-kind partnership offering on-demand TNC services as an alternative to traditional Flex Route systems. The agency’s GODUBLIN program engages Lyft as its on-demand community rideshare provider, with the aim of reducing single occupancy vehicle travel and combating parking congestion at BART rail stations.

EXHIBIT A. LIST OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS Lyft has been working on community engagement initiatives since we began operating in the City. Over the years, we have built strong relationships we would look to engage the following community partners in our local outreach around our new scooter deployment: • TransForm • Livable City • SPUR • Tipping Point • SF Transit Riders Union • APA Heritage Month Celebration • SF Travel • SF Domestic Violence Consortium • Bay Area Council • Immigration Clinic • Rebuilding Together • SF Fire Department • Bayview YMCA • Kansas Street SAFE Association • Lighthouse Center for the Blind • SF African American Chamber • 100 Black Men of the Bay Area • Tenderloin Community and Visually Impaired Development Organization LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 53 June 7, 2018 Ms. Miriam Sorell San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency 1 South Van Ness Avenue, 7th Floor San Francisco, CA 94103 Re: Support of Lyft’s Powered Scooter Share Permit Application Dear Miriam: On behalf of TransForm, I am writing to express our strong support for Lyft’s application for a power scooter share program to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). TransForm promotes walkable communities with excellent transportation choices to connect people of all incomes to opportunity, keep California affordable and help solve our climate crisis. With diverse partners we engage communities in planning, run innovative programs, and win policy change at the local, regional, and state levels. TransForm’s advocacy and approach to emerging mobility aims to tackle the ways that such technologies exacerbate current transportation disparities and may erode important lifeline service for lower-income community members and communities of color. The shortcomings of our current transportation system continue to fall heaviest on these communities who have the fewest sustainable transportation options but suffer the worst health impacts of climate pollution. Mobility innovations like powered scooter share have the potential to improve mobility for those with very limited options, only if they are guided by a strong commitment to focus on equity and complement public transit, biking, and walking. TransForm commends the SFMTA for its strong scooter share requirements that protect our sidewalks and commercial areas, develop a coherent system with clear metrics and data sharing, and facilitate equitable access to this new mobility option. TransForm has been a partner with Lyft for the last couple of years, and during that time we have become familiar with their leadership, vision, and commitment to the community. Over the years, we have collaborated on projects such as the California Air Resource Board’s Car Sharing and Mobility Options Pilot Project grant, TransForm's shared mobility community outreach for residents in East and West Oakland, Oakland Mobility 101, and exploring how Lyft Line ride credits could be used to offset minimum parking requirements for housing developers via TransForm’s GreenTRIP certification program. 436 14TH STREET, SUITE 600, OAKLAND, CA 94612 T: 510.740.3150 WWW.TRANSFORMCA.ORG LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 54 TransForm is dedicated to working with Lyft on its deployment of scooter share in San Francisco. Based upon my knowledge of and experience with Lyft, I have no doubt that Lyft will be thoughtful and intentional about ensuring that their scooter share program is designed to be a tool that extends opportunities to the broader San Francisco community. We look forward to helping Lyft in shaping and implementing a culturally sensitive community outreach approach, with ongoing feedback on marketing and operations, to create a program that authentically speaks to the entire San Francisco community. Through our partnership, we will focus on meeting directly with community leaders and residents to understand barriers to access, and implement strategies to overcome these obstacles. Our leadership in developing and implementing Bike Share for All equity outreach in partnership with Ford GoBike and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission lends us deep insight to guide Lyft in prioritizing equity in its scooter share network. Ford GoBike currently leads the nation with the highest percentage of low-income members (21% regionwide), in large part due to equity provisions TransForm and our community partners helped to shape. Drawing on our experience from leading Ford GoBike's Bike Share for All program, we look forward to working with Lyft in setting a model for creating equitable powered scooter share programs. It is for these reasons that I urge the SFMTA to approve Lyft's permit application and allow them to provide scooter share services.

Floor San Francisco, CA 94103 Dear Miriam: I am writing to express the support of the San Francisco African American Chamber of Commerce (SFAACC) for Lyft?s application for a powered scooter?share program permit. it is my understanding that one of the factors that the SFMTA will take into consideration in assessing the applicants is their plans for ensuring that disadvantaged communities have access to powered scooters. The SFAACC commends the SFMTA for ensuring that scooter-share providers are committed to providing this transit option to all communities. The SFAACC has been a partner with for the last couple of years, and during that time we have become very familiar with their leadership, vision, and commitment to the community. One of the reasons we chose to partner with was because of Lyft?s commitment to ensuring that the benefits of ridesharing were extended to all communities, including communities of color who all too often do not have the same transportation options as other communities and neighborhoods. The connection between access to transportation and upward economic mobility is well-documented, as is Lyft's impact on communities of color and underserved neighborhoods, and based upon my conversations with Lyft's founders and leadership, their impact on disadvantaged communities the result of intentional dedication to ensuring transportation equity for all Lyit users. 1485 Bayshore Boulevard, Suite 427, Box 158 0 San Francisco, CA 94124 0 Phone: 415-749-6400 E-mail: admin@sfaacc.org LYFT - SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 56 Based upon my knowledge of and experience with and its leadership, I have no doubt that will be equally thoughtful and intentional about ensuring that their scooter-share program is designed to provide this exciting new transportation option in disadvantaged communities. It is for this reason that I would urge the SFMTA to approve Lyft's permit application and allow them to provide scooter-share services in the same thoughtful, equitable manner in which they have provided rideshare services to San Franciscans. Sincerely, Matt Thomas President San Francisco African American Chamber of Commerce LYFT - SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 57 June 7, 2018 Dear Director Reiskin, As business and community leaders across San Francisco, we are writing today in support of the Lyft application for the Powered Scooter Share Program Permit. Lyft was founded on the idea that shared rides can take cars off the road, create meaningful economic opportunity, and help revitalize our cities. We strongly believe that this same ethos applies now to powered scooter sharing, and know that there is no better company than Lyft to entrust thoughtful execution of the City’s new program. Lyft has a proven record of community collaboration in San Francisco that far exceeds other applicants. Headquartered locally for over six years, the company has demonstrated a sincere commitment to being good neighbors, partners, and collaborators as one of the leading ride-sharing companies. Whether it’s transit initiatives to coordinate local events, manage high-use areas like the 4th and King Streets Caltrain Station, or support community partnerships that empower San Francisco’s diverse communities with equity and opportunity, we believe that Lyft will continue this mission as they expand into the emerging mobility space with practical powered scooters. You can trust Lyft to be a good operator in San Francisco. Much can be said about the merits of implementing a powered scooter share program here in San Francisco. As leaders in business and the community, we look forward to powered scooters as a cleaner, alternative transportation option that reduces traffic and increases economic activity in our neighborhoods. When residents and tourists get to their destination easier, and worry less about parking when they do, we see more happy and energetic communities that lead to more foot traffic for our own businesses. With the promise of traffic reduction, increased economic activity, and more people getting out into our diverse San Francisco neighborhoods, we are excited to support powered scooters as a viable part of our City transportation system. But we all agree that to realize their full potential, powered scooters must not negatively impact our sidewalks and roadways. We believe Lyft to be responsible actors worth entrusting this responsibility, and know the company will do its due diligence to educate riders on proper use and parking of scooters in San Francisco, so that all San Franciscans, including our most vulnerable citizens, continue to enjoy a safe right-of-way. We strongly urge you to approve the Lyft application. Signed, LYFT • SAN FRANCISCO SCOOTER PERMIT APPLICATION 58
