Case Study: Paul Quinn College reduces student debt with Lyft Business

How Paul Quinn College is reducing student debt with Lyft

Paul Quinn College, a private historically Black college in Dallas, needed a better way to help students get to internships across the metroplex. Many students could not afford cars, and Dallas public transit was not always a practical option, creating a transportation barrier for the school’s work program. Lyft Business was the vendor supporting the college’s transportation needs.

Lyft Business partnered with Paul Quinn College to provide affordable rides to and from campus while donating 1% of ride revenue back to the work program. This helped students access internships, reduce transportation costs, and support the college’s goal of lowering student debt. The program now supports more than 300 rides per week and has improved student opportunity, with measurable financial benefits flowing back into the college’s education programs.
