A North Carolina Winter Storm As Seen Through Lyft Ride-Share Data

Inclement weather exposes our transportation options—and where we most need to go. In the case of Wilmington, NC, as winter storm Gianna hit, data showed residents used the Lyft ride-share app to meet some of their most critical emergency needs.

In this episode, Shoresides talks with Sarah Conlisk of Lyft about the data and how snow in the Carolinas brought first-time riders, trips to grocery stores and healthcare destinations and higher driver tips, along with other moments of community connectivity.
