Lyft is launching a rider verification program aimed at enhancing safety by confirming riders' identities using third-party databases and government-issued IDs.
The program is optional for riders, but participation is encouraged, as verified riders may have quicker access to rides while unverified riders might face delays.
Past reports have highlighted safety risks for rideshare drivers, including over 4,000 allegations of sexual assault, leading to the implementation of verification measures.
Features like Women+ Connect and the new verification process are part of Lyft's commitment to increasing safety for drivers and ensuring they feel secure.
