How can I use Lyft Shared Rides as a pretax expense?

Since Lyft Shared Rides is now an eligible pre-tax expense, all you need to do is enroll in the GoNavia Commuter benefit offered by your employer. Learn more about the GoNavia Commuter benefit here: https://www.naviabenefits.com/participants/benefits/gonavia-commuter-benefits/

 

If you’re an existing GoNavia participant, you can use your Navia debit card to pay for Lyft Shared Rides directly through the Lyft app.

How does it work?

Download the Lyft app and load your Navia debit card information to your Lyft account. Before requesting a ride, select shared rides mode and set the Navia debit card as your payment method. You’ll be matched with a vehicle that can fit up to 6 passengers, all traveling the same way as you. It’s that easy!

Can this benefit be used for my dependent's commuter expenses?

No. The GoNavia Commuter benefit is a pre-tax benefit to pay for your work-related transit and parking expenses.  Only the GoNavia account holder’s expenses are eligible.

Who do I contact with questions about Lyft Shared Rides?

If you have questions about Lyft Shared Rides services, you can visit Lyft’s help page or tap “Help” in the Lyft app for support.

Does my employer need to do anything if we already have the GoNavia benefit?

Nope!  Lyft Shared Rides expenses are now eligible under your existing GoNavia plan. There are no additional employer steps required for you to start utilizing your pre-tax dollars towards your work-related Lyft Shared Rides commute.
