Lyft Rides Program
Duke University Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) offers a Lyft Rides Program to cover transportation costs for Duke students and employees traveling to and from certain designated locations. The program includes destinations such as Duke Lemur Center, Duke Campus Farm, and Duke Forest Shepherd Nature Trail (students only).

- The program can be used for locations other than the designated locations with additional approval and planning with PTS
