Managing your Lyft Pass programs

Lyft Pass gives you more control over your programs than ever before. Learn more about managing your Lyft Pass programs in this article. 

In this article, we'll cover: 


How to view your Lyft Pass program details 

Spend and active riders

At the top of every Lyft Pass program page, you’ll have visibility into the usage and spend of your programs. You’ll see:

  • Last month spend (if program is monthly recurring)—the total spend of the program for the previous month
  • This month spend—the total spend of the program month-to-date
  • Active riders—the number of people who have taken a Lyft ride covered by Lyft Pass within the calendar month
  • People in program (if program is monthly recurring)—the total number of people who have been added to the program

These sections will update on an ongoing basis as riders take Lyft Pass rides. 


Overview of your program’s details

The Overview tab shows you a summary of all program details that are currently published. 


Add or remove program admins

From Overview, you can also remove any program admins or add new ones. While organization admins can make changes to all Lyft Pass programs, program admins will only be able to make edits, invite people, and/or delete the specific program they've been granted admin access to. 

To add a new program admin:

  1. Scroll down over to the last section on the Overview tab called 'Administrators'
  2. Select the three vertical dots beside 'Share passes'
  3. Select 'Add administrators'  Screen_Shot_2022-10-18_at_3.19.01_PM.png

How to view Lyft Pass activity and revoke any shared passes

Select 'Riders' next to overview will allow you to see a summary of who Lyft Pass was shared with and the status of the pass or passes. Details provided on the Riders tab will differ depending on how Lyft Pass was shared for each program. 

The table below breaks down the details you’ll see, as well as the possible statuses of the shared pass or passes, based on sharing method:

Riders will receive a push notification letting them know that their ride credit has been revoked.

How to copy your Lyft Pass program

Need to create another program with the exact same settings? Easily copy any program you've created so you don't have to manually select each setting again. Only the settings of the program will be copied—you'll need to distribute or invite people to the cloned program and people in the original program won't receive double benefits from the cloned program.

To copy a Lyft Pass program:

  1. Select Lyft Pass from the left navigation bar in the Lyft Business Portal and select 'Programs'
  2. Select the program that you’ll be duplicating
  3. Select the 'three-dot icon' in the upper right corner next to 'Share passes' 
  4. Select 'Copy'
