Lyft and Guild Education have partnered to give Buffalo drivers an opportunity to further their education. 

Through Guild, drivers will have access to personalized college advising and tuition discounts for classes, certificates, and degrees from over 80 online non-profit universities.

The average driver working with Guild can save up to $4,220 a year on their degree.
