Vegas Stronger Partners with Lyft to Provide Free Rides for People to Receive COVID Vaccine
March 9, 2021 – LAS VEGAS, NV -- The nonprofit Vegas Stronger, an advocacy group focused on reversing the devastation the opioid epidemic has brought to Nevada, is announcing today they have partnered with Lyft to provide free rides for people who need a ride to a COVID vaccine appointment. The partnership between Vegas Stronger and Lyft is an effort to vaccinate the community for the good of public health.
“As part of our broader helping the community mandate, this is important to us as we want to help speed up vaccinating the community and getting everyone back to work. If getting a ride to a vaccine site is a problem, contact us and we’ll provide you with a Lyft code for a free ride,” said Dave Marlon, Co-Founder & CEO of Vegas Stronger. “We are happy to help in the effort.”
Lyft is able to offer the free ride credits as part of their Vaccine Access programming, also in an effort to help expedite the vaccine process for the local community.

About Vegas Stronger
At Vegas Stronger our guiding principle is that the optimal pathway for opioid addicted people to be restored to productive membership in society is the wholistic combination of Medication Management, Psychosocial Therapy, Housing, and Vocational/Occupational Training. We at Vegas Stronger will aim to remove funding constraints and supply every addicted or newly recovering person with oral, injectable or an implant for free. The only caveat will be that the individual has no medical contraindications and each of them must remain active in an approved behavioral counseling course of treatment.
